If I choose to pay for extra vanity items, I'd prefer it to be a sign of support for that game and the developers who make it.
My understanding was that it is the opposite - the FFXIV team gets to keep the majority of the cash shop money, but it's the regular subscriptions that are sucked into the mega budget by the SE overlords to fund other development.
