It's not like you need to be in the fate area to get the end exp. Not only that, ending that fate faster, just means you will go pack to camp and afk for longer until next one pops.
Because it is a chain fate, and I know how hard it can be to qualify for gold when solo and the fates are being zerged if are not present at the start? If its not a boss fate, mobs can often times die faster than one can target them, which makes it really hard for some jobs to get any credit at all. Plus if solo and not in a group in that zone likely already doing something else and the fate just happened to be in a convenient spot, or might be waiting on a DF queue and pretty sure if fate ends when in a dungeon won't get any credit for it as well.
