Do people see "MSQ Roulette" and "cutscenes" and ignore everything else to complain about how evil veteran players are to newbies now?

Absolutely get rid of the must-watch restriction when people go in as undersized. If someone wants a guaranteed "as intended" experience, they now have the MSQ Roulette. If someone just wants to get through the dungeons without the hassle of being forced to watch the story, then by God let them do it. Not all new players are interested in the story and there are plenty of people with alts that have been through the story on their main already.
