Because you can overshoot the cap pretty easily, which you don't want to do, so this adds an aspect of optimization. This especially so when you're in the process of gearing. Do you buy the piece of gear? Do you upgrade it? Do you wait for it to drop in the raid instead? Do you need to swap a couple pieces around to meet the accuracy requirements? Maybe a crafted piece of jewelry? If you're a healer, do you meld in accuracy to help add to DPS, or is it too costly to your primary duties?

FFXIV sorely lacks much choice in its gearing system, so removing one of the few avenues that players have to think about is puzzling to me.
