You're wrong because very few people had even heard of FFXI and FFXIV in comparison to other MMO's and so the image is very easily rebuilt. Secondly they haven't cut any of the profits from FFXI, because guess what, you're still paying them. They realise that no matter how little they care for FFXI they can get away with it, so they have confidence in FFXI. I would bet that if everyone quit FFXI tomorrow they would go straight back to FFXI and put equal effort into both, but why should they if FFXI is stable? The best business plan would be to divert resources to the potential best product for as long as FFXI is making a steady income, which it is. You have just stated that no matter how FFXIV is, you will never leave FFXI, so you're playing into their hands. So in fact you are actually fuelling what you hate. Oh and by the way... I have run a company so I know exactly what it's like, and also done a master degree course in 3D animation which is very closely related to games design, in fact I actually worked along side game coders in a lot of my assignments.
