For me it is definitely about the amount of work that would have to go into fixing a problem that rarely occurs, has no long-lasting consequences and is entirely due to individual error.

There would have to be a shop that takes refunds and there would have to be a system added that detects whether you've used the gear, given that it doesn't get the "binding" prompt that crafted gear gets. It would need to be set up so that people can't just "borrow" their tome gear from the vendor and sell it back when they're done.

There is also no existing system for refunds from any shop, even the standard ones that deal in gil - you can buy something and sell it back, but only for a fraction of the cost. Therefore it seems unlikely that they would implement such a system for tomes.

It's not "no I wouldn't want to use it if it existed" as much as "no they logically would not implement this system, even if it sounds like a good idea".
