This is my typical playstyle of FFXIV too. :)

And people wonder why get no response from the devs.
well time to leave this dumpster fire of a topic not going anywhere fast.
Am on Zodiark, Castrum and Dalriada are pretty active to this day, even if you naturally won't cap the instance anymore (not that you need to to clear them). Delubrum not so much, the queues are actually fairly long.
Not all the time, but I do queue for Dun Scaith and the Ivalice Raids on my own. I don't need anything from them, I just really liked those and I wanted to experience them again. Plus, sometimes sprouts complained on NN that the queues for those things were long, so :T idk, maybe I'm helping with numbers?
I just really like Diabolos ok?

Last time I did this was 2 weeks ago, actually. And sometimes I run "older" dungeons for glams. I'm thinking of running Eureka for a bit for the elemental armor, since I only now had an active interest in it, but that'll depend on my mood way too much.
If what you're asking about is stuff like old Savages and stuff... most people just unsynch those anyway, partly because unsynching is faster, and partly because skill synching sucks. I do sometimes see PF people making groups to farm them for glamour and mounts, but I assume most people do it with friends. As for Baldesion Arsenal, I hear there's a discord for runs of it that's still somewhat active.
Like, yeah, there's some notoriously "dead in the water" content, but people do still run it, if anything just because they enjoy it. If you want those areas to remain relevant and such, then you'd need an incentive or a proper model to keep them alive. Worst that can happen is what they did with the Bozja Relics, having you run alliance raids ad nauseam. Or just get the stuff off of FATEs.
I haven't really had any trouble finding active Bozja and Eureka instances on Louisoix, though it does depend on the time of day - and you definitely won't cap the instance. Granted, my Louisoix character is just an alt, so I'm not exactly going in there looking all that often. Could easily be a fluke.
I want to believe this is trolling, but...
This is like someone coming along and telling you that Baker, Smith, Gonzalez, Weber, and Chen can only ever be given names, and that Sally, Thomas, and Juan were, in fact, the family names.
It doesn't take much familiarity, with either the name order or common family and given names themselves, to know which is which.
Remember kids, weebdom doesn't mean you know Japanese customs, naming conventions, or their language.
