Perhaps I'm just being greedy or expecting too much here, but I rarely feel like Chris and Brian's discussions nudge discourse beyond its most basic (and often painfully reductive) soundbites.
I think it's about expectations. I personally don't see any content creator as being a source for discussion topics beyond simply about introducing the topics and making people aware of them. People can give their opinions on them, but that's no different than some random person making a post on reddit or the official forum, which is why I don't get the hate some people have toward content creators. Sometimes giving just the soundbites is enough to foster a discussion of your own whether in the comments section or in a thread, but that depends on people's level of participation in a discussion.

Those bonuses amount to about a third of a repair bill -- nothing more. They do not, as earlier implied, aid in gear progression and are by no means made a mandatory part of the game, unlike XIV's weekly currency caps. This expansion's "AP" currency amounts solely to vanities: mini-games, QoL transport systems, transmogs (glamours), minions, and pets.

Daily quests haven't been made since World Quests were introduced; one quite literally replaced the other. World Quests are not daily, but simply last for a time (usually ~3 days) before being replaced by another, or are weekly exchanged with the weekly reset (the weekly world boss WQs).
Perhaps, but when I played WoW in BfA, dungeon runs and world quests are my primary source for PVE gear progression as LFR does not give enough consistent gears, so I think those would be the equivalents to roulettes in FFXIV. That said, there are multiple ways of earning current tomestones in FFXIV that you're not bound to the daily roulette. Even then, 5 Expert runs a week is enough to cap for the week if roulette is the only method you want to choose.
