They can and they will.
But there are other sideeffects from a pure parserfree FFXIV.
Clearrates for Savage will probably go down.
Statweights will be unknown for long periods into the patch cycles if not unknown at all. So gearing would be more like a guessing game.
Job guides will be based more on opinions and feelings instead of facts.

All this won’t change much for the hardcore raiders but midcore and casuals may suffer hard from this.
