Feeling punished for having alts...

I'm still trying to figure out the logic behind this, other than not wanting to bring in another carry over from FFXI.

If you're talking about why people create alts, most common asnwer is — they want to see different characters doing different stuff. It's and RPG, not everyone see their characters as swiss knife. Seeing muscular highlander doing femine animations while wearing a robe with a skirt might look very dumb to someone, but if they want to try a healer, they can create someone more fitting for this kind of job. I have a friend who created and capped 5 different rouges in WoW, just to have different races and transmogs.
Other side of this is that people love questing, once you've reached cap in FF, there is no quests left, game lacks of good amount of sidequests and most of them are so easy, that you can clear a bunch of them in a short time.
