What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

Yeah, I personally have a bone to pick with any "never strive for perfection -- appreciate the status quo" and "suffering is a part of life, so embrace it and grow stronger" narratives.

I grew up in what I thought was a privileged environment (until I grew up and learned what real privilege looked like), and later got a job that put me in direct contact with people who grew up in, or are perhaps even still trapped in, scenarios which can only be described as living nightmares. I've had to talk to and interview someone one step away from suicide one time too many (and one time is LITERALLY too many), so yeah....I have a helluva beef with any game that comes around and tries to peddle "Actually, it's a good thing for people to know suffering -- that way, they can grow strong". Yes, no. Just....eat my whole butt.

I would rather remove my own eye with a cheese grater than tell the people I've met that their suffering was "good". Yes, sometimes you have to tell someone whatever they need to hear to not let despair overwhelm them and force them to do something rash, but if there's one thing I've learned on this job:

"Copium is NOT the same as Happiness."
