This would be one of the reasons people would like this (Since ideally the "best gear" is what you will need, and therefor everyone looks the same) but it's actually one of the reasons some DEVs in other MMOs don't want this.
Running events with large groups, who all wear different armor can be taxing on peoples PCs, and if they all wear the same armor, then it only needs to load the same models/skins.

As to how FFXIVs devs feel, idk. (idk if it is all preloaded or what, but I'd assume it's the same.)
