I got a friend to play the game and with me as a tank take about 30-45 minutes to find healers on the duty finder. I ask my fc but everyone is either doing coils, primals or wp/ak. Nobody has time for lowbie dungeons because they offer no rewards for high level players.

I do think that this coupled by the increased dungeon xp coming in 2.1 will revive lowbie dungeons. In excalibur I always find one or two fate parties (in the morning, in the afternoon there are more.) If the xp is about the same or a little more than fates, I'm sure there will be a lot more people doing that instead.

I know of a couple of people who despise fates and will level secondary classes when 2.1 hits. I don't know if this is going to be enough but I see a brighter future for ffxiv than most here.
