    I was hoping to see statistics showing the number of players who have cleared each respective Coil Turn.

    The same reason they aren't showing active subscriptions. It probably looks really, really bad.

    I don't see how showing 0.0000005% or 99.5% of a population beating Turn 9 would somehow look bad...? It's just a statistic of content being cleared, after all.

    Because these live letters are as much about saving face with fans as providing information. SE's information releases are deliberately done in the way they are to avoid bad press, which is a good thing for the health of the company. Since they made a point out of their total number of accounts as advertising fodder, they don't want to give numbers that run counter to FFXIV:ARRs advertising campaign. Also, raid participation can be seen as a statement of the quality of the product, so it is likewise avoided.
