Swimming may be a neat addition as it does make the world feel more real. Alas, it's both woefully underutilized; accomplishing next to nothing as a result. Better to spend their budget elsewhere, imo.
FFXIV has no shortage of players who subscribe purely for the sake of role-play. There's a financial benefit for the developers to focus on 'fluff' such as swimming, especially when you consider that the primary target audience - Japanese players - loves that sort of thing as well. More could be done with it, certainly, but at least future zones are likely to have spots to dive underwater for the sake of immersion and exploration.
