People are deliberately ruining the story for others

It already exists. Its called Party finder- you can set rules such as "no cutscene skipping" You set the rules, with that comes expectations. There is no good reason to make a core game setting that disables freedom of progression when the window of its applicability is so narrow.

That comparison makes absolutely no sense. Party Finder offers no incentive for players who are not new to even bother and completely relies not only on people to actually look through the list of recruiting parties for nothing in particular, but people who are willing to help just for the sake of being helpful but only if they have the time and patience to dedicate toward it in that given moment.

Also, I am not sure how you managed to come to the conclusion that a "core game setting" which only applies to two dungeons in the entire game disables freedom of progression when it's a completely optional feature for both new and old players to select at their discretion. Are you new and want to watch cutscenes? Select that option and get queued with fellow new players as well as high-level players doing their roulette who are content with spending more time on the run in exchange for being rewarded with extra tomes. It is not even remotely similar to throwing up a Party Finder and hoping you just so happen to do so when seven or so very friendly and helpful players are online, randomly looking through the list for no good reason and have time to burn.

(And that's while ignoring the fact that new players would have no idea that they would even have needed to take precautions in the first place).

Uh, that will have the reverse effect. In fact, it already has been adjusted in a similar fashion, and DID have the reverse effect... So they ultimately went back to the lower, more balanced, tome values.
2, 3? how about 10 times-- See how aggressively people will spam the dungeon and make use of the tome fountain for personal profit.

Forcing the majority to do something other than what the majority wants to do, creates a boycott of said content. Good luck with the grand return of pre-DF queues when that day arrives.

TLDR: if you are a minority member not getting what you think you deserve, find a group of willing participants so that you are no longer queueing as part of a minority. You can find 4 like-minded people, right? Right?

Again, I don't know what you mean by "having a reverse effect". What will? People will be so offended that SE are trying to help story-driven newbies that they deliberately avoid the longer roulette variant which offers higher pay-off? People will be so interested in the longer runs that there will be no-one left for speed runs? Assuming the latter, then... that's..... incredibly unlikely. The whole reason people even do speed runs and spit in the face of new players who express their wish to watch cutscenes is because they lack the patience to bother with it; you're lucky to see one person willing to oblige them in the entire party in my experience. You'll still have people who have the time but don't feel it it's worth the reward and people who don't have the time and therefore won't even consider the idea. Even if most people still opt for speed runs, you will surely have a more notable collection of players offering themselves into the longer MSQ Roulette just so they can get "more" from a single run. I hear a lot of people like to watch Netflix while they Tank and PvP so I'm sure that even if it does turn out lop-sided, it will still be in favour of faster runs.

See how aggressively people will spam the dungeon and make use of the tome fountain for personal profit.

I am talking about the MSQ:Roulette whose bonus is only available once a day.... unless I am not understanding something here(?)
