Have you considered that the unwillingness from anti-parsers to compromise, at least from how you view it.. might be because anti-parsers.. don't need to?

The development team, Yoshi P specifically, agrees with the view that anti-parsers hold: Don't want them. You're not getting them in any officially sanctioned manner.

It's hard to compromise from a position where you stand only to lose. Anti-parsers have what they want, full stop. There's no reason to take steps in a direction that they quite literally do not want. Especially not when parsers are already widely used and turned a blind eye to by the FFXIV dev team for the only scene that actually needs them.. raiding.
