The very fact that you consider that the msq progression is "seeing everything" that the game has to offer is a little unhinged, sorry. Unless this was meant sarcastically of course, which I doubt it was.
By "seen everything" I mean if they've been auto-jumped to level 100 and they're just doing endgame fights for weeks before they get what they wanted/get bored and then leave because again, no prior investment in anything. The game just becomes a temporary raid simulator for them, or for whatever piece of side content they got dragged into by their friends (said friends being the ones I assume has convinced them "nothing matters until endgame" which is why they want them sped through to join them as soon as possible).

But if you're still expecting them to level up, then why bother auto-skipping the MSQ at all? The ESC key is right there if they really find the whole thing so unbearable, and having to mash the skip cutscene button isn't anywhere near as egregious as forcing them through MSQ trials or Crystal Tower because at least they have control over solo duties or dungeons via NPCs, but MSQ trials and Crystal Tower can stop a sprout dead in their tracks for days, or even weeks with low population data centers.
