Making one game cater to both people who want multiplayer dungeons and people who want solo dungeons is not a terrible thing.
I ironically play almost exclusively solo, and don't even talk in dungeons (unless I get addressed) nor have I joined any linkshells for chat (the ones I am in are for hunting, and a collection of people who farm extremes) or even bothered with the new fellowship system. My FC has about 4 active players, who I almost never play with, so yeah I get people wanting to play it solo. However, I do not think it is a good thing for an MMOrpg to be designed more for solo play. An mmo should encourage group play, if anything to at least match it's genre namesake. This game does a very poor job doing so, and not always for the better.
