It's a change in the opposite direction from what you're assuming, it's geared far more towards casuals than those who play more frequently. People in the first 8 yrs of 2ks spent way more time playing than they do now.

Why they didn't run out of content as fast? Because it wasn't super easy & accessible and you couldn't level 1-50 in a day or two tops. I don't really see that many people sticking around after a month out of 2.1.

You think you're the main source of income of FFXIV? Word of mouth and reputation will get you a lot more income than a few people who never play the game but are still subscribed. If there were some popular MMO players that streamed and migrated to FFXIV from WoW/etc then you'd see a much larger spike in population. A single casual could never produce such a boom in subscriptions.
