So an opinion of "Yeah but nobody actually liked that content" doesn't really seem honest when they never actually did it when it was live. So it's more assumed to the genre as a whole and not an experience of XIV.

Also no, Shadowbringers and Endwalker were very mellow to me, I've already busted my ass getting all classes to cap every expac since ARR, and it wouldn't be the same as me telling you to level all classes, and gather all mounts today as it did even 2 years ago. So that doesn't even equate here. There's nothing to do because that base content is no longer engaging as it's been evolved to a more streamlined version of itself. I no longer feel the need to level classes that all feel the same and have boring rotations, while spamming dungeons where nobody needs to talk or strategize. It's also been nearly impossible to actually queue for the things I enjoy like the Nier series.

Every year more Triple Triad cards come out, but because I don't update my Card List every minor patch since 2.51, then I must not have experienced Triple Triad and I haven't done everything! - No, it's all more of the same with a difference skin and everything is systematically linear now. Like a card comes out and I go "Wow, I finally have content to do! Thank Yoshi-P!" I do love TT though.
That's a roundabout way to say I'm correct. There IS stuff to do you just don't feel like doing it. There ain't a game out there that isn't repetitive. That's the nature of any game really. It's how you value said repetition that makes the difference.

Maybe the game isn't for you with how the devs prefer to run it. What they're doing works and a big selling point for the game often spoke on is how people don't have to deal with FOMO and their time is always respected.

If you want a game that's more grind we have the likes of Black Desert around now. Maybe try Lost Ark or something. There's other avenues
