Because it is midcore content. You can approach extreme/savage very casually and still clear while it's relevant. Ultimate is not midcore because it has gear requirements and requires a much higher degree of planning and coordination to clear.

If you're looking for duty finder-friendly content that can be beaten in one session by anyone who queues up, that's casual content.

Casual:
Dungeons, Trials, Normal Raids, Alliance Raids, Exploration Zones, Deep Dungeons, Variant Dungeons

Midcore:
Extreme, Unreal, Savage, Criterion, Chaotic

Hardcore:
Ultimate, Criterion (Savage)

There's some leeway here because a group could have a hardcore approach to savage and clear in the first few days, but generally speaking - this is the split of content in FFXIV.
