I honestly don't see a problem with them rotating maintenance and, emergency or not, they plan them somewhat in advance. I'm surprised, frankly, that there have been so many in such a short period of time. I'm sure they're tweaking things, but it's a bit absurd. The argument here is one side saying it would be a nice quality of life improvement for many if the same group isn't affected time and time again and the other side saying, well, that Square-Enix doesn't need to do anything just because you want it...

And I find that kind of strange.

A company's job is to provide a satisfactory product for the customer and this is such a small thing that I feel like the benefit greatly outweighs any negative impact. An MMO is a constantly shifting and changing product at that. Saying that SE shouldn't do something because, ugh, effort, is a very peculiar argument. SE wants to fix problems that affect players concerning their game, and this is one of them. I don't see the problem with everyone sharing the burden of maintenance a little more. Even if it was changed by a few hours, it could make a major difference. The maintenance doesn't tend to affect me but I feel like the pros outweigh the cons and it's perturbing to see people argue otherwise.
