Unlike WoW, FFXIV has accessible gear through tomestones, it's not a dev oversight that dungeon gear has such low item level, dungeon loot is set to be multi purpose, desynth, glamour and GC seals are included in those purposes, and they assume we're actively getting seals whenever they add recipes or relic steps that require GC seal mats.

Here any player will be wearing uncapped tomestone gear in a matter of three or four days, dungeon gear wasn't meant to be more than a very temporary upgrade.
