As someone who has no desire to do Savage raids (most of which seem akin to learning a dance), I'm glad the Normal (story) mode exists... though admittedly the main challenge of fights like O9 and O10 seems to be not falling asleep; O11 and O12 do a much better job, but Alexander Midas is still my favourite tier overall. I don't begrudge Savage though (or Ultimate), as I know a lot of players do enjoy them, and it's always good to have something to aim for.

I do think it is high time SE looked at implementing an official in-game parser though (that they have full control over), and outright banning third-party parsers (and by extension FFlogs) ... I mean parsers are useful (even in individual runs), are already widely used, and do give an advantage; so why are they restricted to only a portion of the player base (i.e. PC players) and officially allowed to be used even for such things (which could be considered cheats) as call-outs* when they aren't officially supported?

* World first UCoB clear has (or had at the time) call-outs in their video and (AFAIK) SE said nothing.
