Because the people who do it are professional toxic casuals who whine about the idea of anything more difficult than chewing gum in every single thread in the general forums, and pretend like FFXIV has some horrible widespread problem with evil stinky elitists ruining their chill zen no-expectations paradise while hypocritically shrieking about the mere existence of anyone who does difficult content, whether they interact with them or not. The difference is that the toxic "elitism" is explicitly punishable by the TOS, but toxic You Don't Pay My Sub And How Dare You Offer Me Advice behavior isn't, and I'll continue to yawn and dismiss the whining about "potential elitism" until that changes.

We learned just three months ago that these people piss and moan about things that don't even affect them on streams and get people temp bans for it. I don't care what spectre they're shaking at this week.
