To be fair, we see this in a lot of places. The Hinterlands are as full of ruins and as abandoned, yet there's no actual reconstruction minus some tiny changes in Idyllshire. The Churning Mists are full of derelict ruins from the dragon-elezen heyday, and even though we've successfully put an end to the dragonsong war and they're learning to at least be neighbours again, nothing changes (other than the moogle area). It would be great to see improvements in all of these areas (including Ala Mhigo) but by this point I think that the XIV devs just like developing landscapes and don't want to put the effort into giving us reasons to be in it.
