For me and lots of other players too , raid gear in mog-shop would be seen as „optional“
You're using a slippery slope fallacy. You're pretending that A leads inevitably to Z when there's no real reason to think that it does. The devs have repeatedly stated that the MogStation items will always be purely optional and cosmetic and will never include actual gear with stats.

Really good looking gear, mounts, emotes, and Chocobo barding are all still purely cosmetic, as they have absolutely no bearing on your ability to complete a dungeon (except for the ability to complete it while looking fabulous). So far, they have not strayed from their stated intention and there is no reason to believe that they will.
