They make it easier for new players, they make it easier for gil sellers as well.

People want to play FFXIV and they want to craft in it, maybe all their friends are going through combat stuff and they've chosen to be the FC crafter for everyone, why punish them for that? If SE isn't going to accommodate for people who love primarily doing DoH/DoL things and allow them to also access new content, why bother even having it? Plus they're ways to integrate DoH/DoL into Ishgard, SE just hasn't done it, a very simple thing of "Holy smokes PC! Ishgard is suddenly coming to us begging for business and is willing to give you a work visa! All that business in Ul'dah and sudden continuation of the Dravanian assault must have caused them to seek independent DoH/DoL for labor! Go get your butt up in there and craft for them!" There, suddenly 2.55 to 3.0 related story content for DoH/DoL.
