They learned their class or improved their damage or whatever it may be. The moment you give people a super easy way to consume the content is the moment you stop giving people incentives to improve. It's not just as simple as letting some people see the story. It's actively dumbing down the game as a whole and decreasing the skill of the population as a whole. There are at least a dozen people in my FC alone that would never have beaten T5 and beyond and wouldn't be where they are today if your story mode existed. They normally aren't those kinds of players that want to tackle harder content, but eventually they were convinced to do so by the story and gear. Story mode literally would have had a negative effect on my FC.

Also, if such a thing did exist it shouldn't give you anything at all but the cutscenes. No achievements even for mapping. No loot. No titles. No anything.
