They put it in because players clamored for it on the forums sooo.. no? If you go back far enough you'll find countless "We want minion battle mini games" posts. Yes it was SEs bad judgement in agreeing to do something so convoluted, but that doesn't detract that everyone comes to the forums to ask for the littlest things they want even if they have absolutely nothing to do with the game, or to the detriment to the game as a whole. You can see more than a handful of these genre of topics if you go back to the root of this forum right now.

To be fair there is a huge difference in asking for QoL changes ( like how they added toggling gathering skills while mounted, which was asked for and granted ), versus wasted countless development time on something like LoV ( LoV will always, from this point on, take development time away from the rest of the game. For every minion they add they have to take away from developing something else to make that minion capable of battle in LoV. It needs skills, actions and more animations... )

LoV is a virus set upon all of Eorzea and its future lol. Why? let's keep in mind that SE only budgets so much to FFXIV even though it rakes in dollars. This effects what can be developed and most of all the size of the dev team.

That's all I have to say about that...
