Not for SE. SE wants FFXIV to have the image that the game is alive and bustling with players so they can attract new players (for more money). They'll do what they can to achieve that even if it means creating that image artificially via players being allowed to stand around for an indefinite amount of time.

This makes logical sense but you can't really blame them for it. Pretty sure anyone in their position would do the same. Games, forums, discords, whatever. People in charge of most anything like to boost the activity by any means possible.
