How is it a problem?

If any of the above were true, then yes, it would be a problem. But they are not.
These “orange DPS only” parties are hardly the norm. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of one being in PF on Aether, so I would hazard a guess and say that, yes they exist, but are infrequent/a rarity/an oddball PF. While I can’t speak for the other data centers, I would venture to say that it’s probably not the norm over there as well.
