I do not have a "Main" I want to gear all jobs, change weekly gatings?

SE gating us not only keeps people playing, but it also reduces artificial gating from the player base. If we had unlocked tomes, guaranteed you would have seen "ilvl225+ or gtfo" for ex and savage content PFs first week.

Except that you did see that anyway then, and still do now just even worse... And there is no method by which you can catch up even if you are willing to put in the effort. If you are 3 weeks behind now, you will be 3 weeks behind until the next tier. And if you are 312 and people want 320 well, you are out of luck. And crafted is not the answer. Maybe other servers it is cheaper, or other people have more gil. But in my experience it costs an impossible amount of gil to buy and meld.

You can make your own PF with your own requirements. Even with lower ilvl requirements, they still fill up. At least on the Chaos datacentre. Problem solved.
