I wasn't willing to put up with the elitists and trolls in group content to play the game. I didn't have to do it there to play the game, but apparently I must do it in FF to clear the story content.
Extreme Primals are not story content. They're side content that stretches on what is established through the story content. Entirely not required for anything except maybe future Primal fights, if they were to still do that.

And you don't need to put up with the elitists? Obviously you aren't in a rush, you take things at your won pace so I don't see why you don't wait until you find like-minded players and do the content in your own way. Everyone acts as though they have to involve themselves with these horrible, terrible, vile heathens who just want to clear shit. Just don't bother with them? And yes, through PF or Linkshells or Free Companies, or even outside sources like forums or other websites you never have to even notice these evil players. They do their thing; you do yours. So you want to clear an EX Primal? Make a damn clear party if you don't see one. Don't just demand people hold responsibilities to teach everyone. This is Multiplayer but that doesn't mean they have to play with EVERY player. They stick to their people and just as they're going through the extra mile to make sure they can get shit done right and then, you just need to put effort into creating your little bubble.
