But nobody seem to pay attention to the even more ridiculous idea that someone can just say "I'm fed up with this group, I'm leaving". That is like if you die against Sephiroth and reload, you lose one character in your party that may not appear again for another 1 hour of real time waiting.

If you actually had checkpoints in boss battles where you got to resume from with full health and mana after a wipe, then much fewer people would have a reason to leave because they know that at least what they've already cleared stay cleared.

Another comparison for primals is to say that if you die, you start at the beginning of a dungeon with all monsters respawned. Because that is how primal fights work, you have to redo everything. It makes quite a lot of sense to not force people to redo the entire primal fight every wipe.
