To be fair, MSQ roulette holds a much smaller amount of content compared to this.

I'm not sure how much negative feedback came to this from the Japanese community prior, but my best bet is that that's the playerbase that caught them by surprise. Officially this change was based on the Japanese playerbase etiquette of bringing your best job so you can contribute the most and then rolling Greed, so they made it official that that's what everyone are supposed to do, despite the NA and EU players not adhering to it because, well, Need rights. But then it blew up in their faces when that demographic hated on it so much too.

Which leaves the likeliest reason, being that they just wanted to create artificial longevity for the content.
