All MMO's are the same, Tanking is probably the most stressful role you can play and is also the first people will blame when something goes wrong.
On the other hand DPS is probably the easier role to play and has the least effect on the party unless you are facing end game content.
It's just as simple as the path of least resistance.
Which is hilarious, because tanking 4man dungeons in this game is seriously the most braindead thing I have ever done. At least as a SCH I can pretend I'm a DPS while the tank shrugs off trash mobs' attacks...All MMO's are the same, Tanking is probably the most stressful role you can play and is also the first people will blame when something goes wrong.

Casual players are scared of the skill floor required for tanking and healing, and serious players are driven away from tanking and healing casual content because its still ceiling is stiflingly low. The only time I tank or heal any more is when those roles are called for in serious 8mans, where those roles are actually checked for more than 'has a pulse and can press button', or when my FC wants to do premade speedruns or introduce people to content without putting up with toxic gamer bro randoms making jokes about sexual assault.
