People dont have to care about the MSQ, but the devs do, and the game is built with that in mind.
I don't think the analogy directly corresponds with FF14. If anything I'd liken the MSQ more to the appetizer just based on how I play. Being more fair though, it's probably more accurate to call the MSQ one of multiple options for the main course. Saying that it should be done away with is silly, but it's equally silly to insist that the entire FF14 experience revolves around it. You can play FF14 without giving the story any attention, all while being a fan of the game and thoroughly enjoying.

Not directing this at you, but the posts that say "go find another game" miss the point. People don't want to find another game because FF14, minus the story, appeals to them. The MSQ is optional. That's OK and that doesn't mean that people want to take it away.
