Are DPS the peasants of FFXIV...? Do we need a DPS welfare?

Making gil has nothing to do with being a DPS.
So no they don't need it.

There's plenty of way to make gil in this game, even without crafting or gathering.

Correct. I have noticed a trend in-game (so only my perception here), however, that tank and healer mains are more likely to delve into other endeavors like crafting, gathering, etc.
