Why are crafting/gathering sets in Stormblood class locked?

This reason probably is the glamour. There are two glamour similar, one (the dyeable) is harder to craft because of the components, I guess they didn't wanted to kill the market (but then, SE, why did you choose this glamour?).

The pieces dye in a different way, so again the glamour and economy excuse does not work. Its just like a middle finger to people who "care" about glamour. Can the devs not tell us the reason for why they decided to limit us players even more?

It feels like they wanted to go with the same system we had before and decided on some neat armor pieces but then suddenly changed their mind and we have this big fat tease infront of us. JUST WHY.

Aren't all of the older models they chose also available for dirt cheap thanks to the Aquapolis?

Something that's particularly lame about this is that some of the kudzu pieces are the ones the Xaela in the Azim Steppe use, so if you wanted to make a tribal glamour for your Au Ra, it would only be usable as a crafter/gatherer.

The Nomad sets are the same models, but they're also undyeable.

I just checked, the reply is no. The stuff is 3M for the cheaper. All crafted.

Some components are still rare and expensive. One component is in aquapolis, the other needs to send aeronef in the right area.
