I'm pretty sure they can build a lot of story in the 20 levels between 50-70, like they did with nin, drk, ast, mch. Also ARR and HW questlines aren't really related, so having 5 extra quests, wouldn't really do much. I wouldn't be opposed to it if it started at 30, and having lots of extra job quests, but...that's a lot of extra content, that takes lots of time, and costs. Most ppl don't like lower lv content, which is why they are possibly adding lv jump potions, and increasing starting levels of new jobs; remember they key concept of FFXIV is: catch up easily; starting at lv1 would annoy most ppl, even 30 is borderline, cause you still don't have any actual job skills then. So you start at 50, and it actually feels like you actually are *insert job* instead of *insert class* with a job stone that doesn't do anything yet.
ast/drk/mch didn't even get prev relics, and rdm/sam wont get ARR or HW relics either, it's just outdated content; they want to focus on Stormblood content, not lv 30 content.
So, PotD or instances will be your only option, if you want to learn your job, step by step, from lv1
