The only, and I repeat, ONLY reason why it's locked is so they can recycle gear in new dungeons. To add insult to injury, the recycled gear is then assigned to different roles - in Shadowbringers, for instance, what used to be striking gear is now casting gear, only with a recolor, etc, so their identity argument is dead on arrival. It's infuriating.

Sure, don't let us glamor artifact gear, whatever. But let us glamor everything else. As long as you can wear it on a job you have leveled up to that point, it should be fair game for every other job. If anything, this may make people level additional jobs and play more, leading to more subscription time. For instance, Ninja Shire gloves look amazing, and I would gladly level Ninja to 60 for them, even if I hate Ninja and would never do it otherwise.
