You don't know that.

Do you know how much money is actually allocated to FF14? How much money is left after allowing ressources to what needs to be developped? (Future expansion, raid, jobs, music, art, events, etc etc etc). Maybe very little is left... Maybe they don't even have enough for everything they'd like to do... maybe they have a lot left which leads to the next question.

"How much would it cost". Do you know? We know it's a mess, we know it'd be "a lot", but how much "a lot".

why not now?
Exactly, why?
Perhaps because that part was easier to fix?
Perhaps the matter was much more pressing and enough money was allowed then but it isn't anymore.
Perhaps there's a risk of making things worse from unsuspected interaction in the spaghetti code.

Or simply they feel it's good enough and that improving it further would just be a waste of money.

And yes, it can be a waste of money.
