I think instancing FFXIV is SE's way to work around the knee-jerk response to new content, and shoehorn the "Cross server" dungeon mechanic into the game when it hasn't even shown a real need for it so far even with our small community I don't see many people being "Left out" of content like the Darkhold or Totorak.
I'm sure that's because there was no other content. Also players shouldn't have to wait "[a] Few weeks afterwards" when new content is released because the top LS is camping a spot non stop until they get what they want.
