To summarize:

OP: The current expansion lacks content.
Person quoting OP: The current expansion story is poorly written.
Person quoting the person quoting OP: JUST QUIT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO PLAY.

Yeah totally valid response.../s.
Yes, it's valid because there is no functional difference between the two. Whether there is no content for you to do or not liking the direction of the game in terms of the existing content (including the story), you can feel free to play other games while waiting to see if it gets better.

Do note that the person quoting the OP thinks the writers have lost their integrity. Meaning, if they ever were interested in the story, they might not have any hope for it as long as the current writers are still writing it. And if playing for the story is a major reason for why they play FFXIV, they might have a bad time with FFXIV.

Regardless of whether they have any other reason to play FFXIV, stating that they can feel free to play other games is valid.

I just feel this community reacts to feedback very poorly and it is tiresome to see people attacked over and over for doing nothing more than posting what they perceive as legitimate concerns. The developers want to hear feedback, they wouldn't give us the multiple avenues to do so if they didn't. However, we seem time and time again, anything viewed as a perceive slight against the gospel of the FFXIV devs, is immediately lambasted, attacking the person, not the content of the post. By all means just disagree with their points (I disagree with much of the OP) but don't just tell them to quit for providing feedback.
I think that you are overreacting. Do not take "feel free to play other games" as an attack. Just don't.
