MMOs released these days seem to have a massive spike in numbers for the first couple months then crash. Why do you think that is?
None of Zfz's points are good, because the only thing Zfz, and players like Zfz, want is to block "lesser" people from accessing content. They somehow derive pleasure from seeing other people unable to enjoy and experience content.

There are many good reasons to nerf deprecated content. If it's not nerfed, then new players, less skilled players, players with less time to play, players who don't actually enjoy challenging content will be left further and further behind. They will become quickly locked out of much of the game's content.

What do you think will happen next? Actually wait, I'll go ahead and answer for you, since thinking is clearly too hard for you. The people locked behind deprecated tiers that continually stack up, making playing catch-up more and more unlikely, will simply give up and unsubscribe. Square-Enix will, as a result, lose money, and this will damage their ability to continually release new content in a timely manner.
