I've always felt that the Primals telling you not to summon other Primals was the same as why the Circle of Knowing tells you not to summon them. It eats aether, which is apparently somewhat of a finite resource though some can be returned to the planet, which is why Hydalyn isn't totally wasted in ARR.

Primals want to have all that power to themselves so they can stay in the world. The Circle of Knowing appears to care about the planet too but they also would not like to see more primals summoned.

Regarding the Ascian, Travenchet, he doesn't appear to be entirely of this world either, considering that light appears to pass right through him instead of creating a shadow behind. Perhaps Primals and Ascians have a shared story and origin.

It's just that in the Limsa storyline, it's the only time where we really get to see them so it's hard to say anything about them.

The Echo-giver on the other hand, snatches you out of your ordinary life, appears to deliberately put you in places to prevent the Twain from ever Meeting. I don't think Y'shtola was looking to find the shadowless associate to share pleasantries.

I'm sure a war between those two probably would have been some bad news.
