I would love for the devs to "enforce" better playstyles but only way I can see that happening is making normal content harder which doesn't work and just promotes leeching (Which we already have now) or players just outright dropping certain content.
I do love the first dungeon of Endwalker, the amount of times i saw it early on in the expansion, where groups just could not get past the first bosses mechanics without dying 3-4 times.

My expectations for Endwalker dropped back down to disappointed when i realized every other dungeon after that could be cleared blindfolded, playing with my feet.

The game really is dumbed down to the point where anything below Extreme (And even some extremes, the new one as a perfect example) are designed for a player base that don't want to have to 'learn'.
