As Luin pointed out even the japanese players seems to find this change a bit strange and we should not forget that their playerbase is the minority and even those could have enough people that are hurt by this change. (Also if they dont want to even go into 24 man raids with secondary jobs, why do they even need gear for them? If they dont run normal content with those jobs, would they truly run raids with it?)
