Out of legit curiosity, why does it matter to get fast high IL if virtually there's no use for it unless you actually do high-end content (ultimate and criterion savage)? It's not like having high IL is a must to complete all the available endgame content outside of ultimates (you can complete savage with a crafted pentamelded set anyways).
Ive actually stated this counter argument and I feel it still holds true; however the nature of MMOs is always to get the best gear (people will always want to be more efficient) and the slow progression of obtaining these items goes against the core principle of FFXIV's All-in-One system.

I dont think asking for extra avenues to get savage level gear is bad. People are still going to have that retention to get BiS in this game but the process of doing that shouldnt be this extremely bad. Realistically you should be able to at least get 3 pieces of BiS gear weekly to fit the 3 roles; Tank, Healer, DPS and this can be done by spreading the content via raids, quests or heck even expert level crafts like in WoW.
