And? They still pay the same amount you do every month. Perhaps even more, depending on your mogstation habits and extra retainers. Everyone likes having goals, gaining stats and feeling more powerful than before; it's irrelevant if they want to step into harder content or not. I have plenty of casual friends who'd never set foot into EX+ content but feel so happy and proud whenever they get a new tomestone gear, or a new upgrade drop from the 24 mans. You don't get to dictate whether they need the gear or not.

So why not make all the skins available for purchase from a vendor with gil. I don't give a rat's arse about rewards and just enjoy tough content for tough content's sake.

Because then crafting and market manipulation would be the sole (glamour) endgame progression mechanism?
