But you 'glorious' Anti-Mogstation-people DO realize, that the devs will most likely give you less stuff to glamour / play with when your hated pay-service vanishes, yes? Less money-income means less resources means more things will get cut.

That's the right of it. If the mogstation was cut, we would see more things cut, or never added to the game than ever before. People should be thanking the whales. Don't get me wrong there is a balance, but this game handles it's cash shop well.

This is a very silly take.

By all numerical accounts and reports, XIV has been growing rapidly — in terms of interest and subscribers — over the last few expansions. However, the rate of content added to the game has not kept up with the monetary growth of the game. So this idea that, if the Mog Station was cut out, that more in-game content would be cut is ludicrous. The profits from the Mog Station do not go back into XIV; it goes back to Square-Enix, who then invests into non-XIV enterprises.

The Mog Station is not going away, that's true enough, but let's drop this narrative that it means more investment or content in the game. Square-Enix's track record is to keep the game profitable, but only to funnel those profits into other enterprises.
