They can get new items that are in high demand though, like the new Ala Mhigan Salt which is a timed Stormblood node and the new battle mats needed for weaver and leatherworker which have insanely high demand, much higher than clusters. They can also get shards and crystals - it kinda doesn't make any sense for the clusters not to be included.
