This is the kind of situation wherein the person who is playing fine (I was doing all the mechanics and for many fights was one of the only players still standing at the end from my party) but I was the problem for not having an essence on... and so would have had a vote dismiss initiated. This is a problem with the content and with the players that would make the potential to vote dismiss abused, and with not being able to report someone who inititates this kind of vote dismissal, this would become a problem Square likely wants to avoid.
you can literally buy them off the market board for gil. if you don't want to get the items and actions that increase your contribution toward the clear, PotD is an option for you.

Vote Kicking for poor contribution is also not abuse. Difference in playstyle is a valid dismissal from a party.
