lets take a step back and look at that . is it a real reason?
Not particularly. But then, I'm willing to bet there are thousands of entitled, not-particularly-wise people out there who would blow a fuse if SE didn't at least try to make some sort of excuse.

The real reason we shouldn't (not necessarily won't; but shouldn't) see Viera is it is an utter waste of development resources. It adds absolutely nothing to FFXIV's content, nothing to FFXIV's storyline. The ONLY benefit would be one more pair of options for an amazingly large contingent of players who seem to want nothing more from an MMO than a dress-up simulator (not that FFXIV is lacking for options in this department).

Personally I wish SE would just come out with a flat "No."
