FFXIV content just needs time invested since all the combats are scripted, so even if you're bad at it you can end up clearing all of them.

On the other hand, if you're bad and the content is hard, it doesn't matter the time you invest; you'll never clear it, wich is not the case with FFXIV.

That's why it makes no sense to keep the actual formula and release everything on the same day; it doesn't add any difficulty, it just makes some people skip cutscenes in order to catch up their party mates.

I'll clear all story content, craft and pentameld everything the same day because I have the time, but other people doesn't have that time and will end up rushing stuff and watering down the new patch experience.
If it's casual content, then it doesn't matter. You can still be fast at clearing content without needing to rush getting into the content. The game doesn't reward you for getting into the content faster. So if you think it's casual content, then treat it as casual content.
