If you're not using the 'perfect build' then you are only ever hindering the people you are playing with and if you do that then people will call you out on it and shun you from content.
That again...
Why ? because some builds are more fun.

And again "hindering people" is overdramatizing for everyone besides top-tier-high-end-game-world-first-parties. It's exactly why people keep playing PLD, MCH and SMN even though they can be slighty weaker...or how you can end with i160 people in the Expert Roulette instead of ilvl170...
So, in fact, for 99,99% percent of the game x playerbase, chosing a different build is not an issue.

And the best part ? Since people can level each job, they can chose to follow one optimum build for their "raid-job" and be creative with everything else for the Duty Finder.

Skills tree is a far better option to invest development time than Chocobo Racing...or chocobo breeding...or Lors Of Verminion...or Triple Triad...
