What are you talking about - A6s is still difficult, but now a bigger percentage of players can manage though it instead of beating themselves endlessly against it.
A few friends of mine already stopped raiding with their static because it was 3 hours a day, 4 times a week on that encounter.

They got simply burned out in the end.

Plus, there is still A7 and A8 so there is still enough challenge ahead, so people need to calm the hell down and put back the salt.

Your friends weren't cut out for raiding then, 3 hours a day 3-4 days a week is what midcore raiding is. My group did that, we cleared A6S, we did it for 2 months and cleared A3S, for a month and cleared A4S. This stuff isn't meant to come easily, you already have NM and Primals for that kind of play. A6S is the hardest pre A8S fight, of course it's going to take a few weeks, it's like the community forgot T7 even happened.

They couldn't do it anymore, simply as that. My friends are very raid oriented, but their motivation kept plunging throughout the weeks due to A6S and it's rather punishing way when you mess up and wipe.
Plus, one of them started to get health issues (sprained wrist), so they decided to drop out and actually, you know, have fun playing the game again.

if u already killed A6s , it was on farm already so meh, if u were working on it ...now u gonna have a easier time...., and if u dont even did it or were not interested in savage....nothing changes.

SE is a bit afraid of another A3s...

I don't care if it's easier than A7S. I wanted the challenge and now I feel robbed and betrayed. I didn't want to have an easier time, I never do. I want to put in the effort and be rewarded for that. Especially salty because we were starting to see the end of the tunnel.

I'm not really a fan of nerfing content while it's still current. (Or at all for Savage content)

FFXIV needs 3 tiers of raid IMO, if SE feels there are problems with Savage clear rates discouraging the raid community. (Normal, Coil-like, and Savage)

I love when the people who don't raid come to put their opinion on raid content

i feel these nerfs are too soon it hasn't been a patch cycle yet and the content is still very relevant to raiders. in all honesty these nerfs seem like what they intended for when it would hit the duty finder also i find that the way the nerfs have been designed solo healing this will be that much easier thus asking the point why have 2 heal spots if 1 can do just fine which really sucks for anyone who cleared/working on clearing or was looking forward to trying a6s
