No they aren't. If you switch XIV's time to RL time and still make an event that happens at 11:00 AM EST, you're screwing over everyone that has a 9-5 job because they'll never see said event without calling out from work. It'd be beyond stupid for the devs to do something like that. There is such a thing as reasonable limitations, and RL time has inherent limitations developers will want to stick do if they don't want to piss off a lot of people.
All it'll do in the end is prevent a particular subset of people from experience the shift from day to night, how much this affects the game is yet to be seen but that is all there would be to it.
The argument is weak by nature. I might start putting it in the same category for jump hate, under the "this is more asinine than the Ji Firepaw incident" tag.

As I said, if you just want to see the day and night cycle and have it not affect other parts of the game, I'm willing to cut you some slack.
