Between lacking job gear designs and the beginning of job simplifications, it really does seem like ShB onwards is receiving much less attention despite bringing in more money than before.

They've just been throwing bland robe after bland robe at the healers recently. I think the only reason SCH gets something passable for male characters is because they're military-based.
If I were to guess... and this is me giving the benefit of the doubt...

POSSIBLY they don't want to make gendered gear only for the community to ask for the gear to be unlocked because coding headache. Take the Neo-Ishgardian one for instance. I know people with female characters who want the male look and I personally want the female one myself. I don't see either becoming a lv1 glam option. Ever.

Doesn't explain why they just don't make more gender neutral stuff but I can see the above issue being a reason for why all the sets are more... uniform across sexes. Otherwise they'd have to do what they did with the Valentoine's 2023 set and make two. For ARMOR. I really don't see that going over well either.
