Request to unlock Hempen set styles

[Niwashi]

Nobody uses the crafter/gatherer ones though. ... It's such a waste of fun designs which would add some much-needed variety.

I do. And I like the variety it gives me to wear a leatherworker-specific set when I'm a LTW or a goldsmith-specific set when I'm a GSM, etc.

It's true they don't have the history behind them that many of the combat job AF sets have, but that's because it's a new thing for crafting disciplines to be jobs in their own right. They don't exist as such in any of the single player FF games. But many players still value them, and it's just as valuable to give those their own look as it is for the combat jobs. (If anything, it may be more important for the crafting classes, which don't otherwise have much to distinguish them.)

I believe one of the other versions of ffxiv, the chinese one perhaps, has the level 50 crafter and gatherer sets available in the cash shop as non restricted glamor items.

I don't really see how this is relevant. We're not playing the Chinese game, thank goodness. It has quite a few things I wouldn't want here.
