I suppose that number is just a "guess", but even if its correct: No, you shouldnt be clearing stuff more infrequently, because most content is so easy (basically everything outside of EX-primals and Savage - and maybe NM-raids within the first week) that you can carry ice-mages, no-dot-dps, healers that dont do anything but press one button (their basic heal - cure 1, physick), tanks that dont do anything but their aggro-combo...

You can get through the latest dungeons and NM-raids without knowing your job at all, because the other three/seven people can carry you (most of the time).
80% actually seems like quite a bit of a high number, but there are far, far to many people in current endgame-content without a clue that they're doing a lot of things pretty, pretty wrong - but because they get carried through, they believe, they're doing perfectly fine.
And we obviously dont need savage-difficulty in our daily expert-roulette, but... isnt it kinda sad that me and my boyfriend - paladin and BLM - often solo the last 15-20% of bosses? And isnt it also kinda sad that they're easy enough for us to do that? And isnt it even more sad that a lot of pld/blm-combos probably wouldnt be able to do that, because they dont use their full toolkits of clemency, intervention, debuffs on the boss, appropriate level 70 rotations?

Even if your party clears a dungeon/raid, that doesnt mean that everyone in that party did a good job - it might very well mean that 3 people did a damn good job, 2 did okay and the other 3 were deadweight, doing nothing but dying and eating up MP. Yet you still cleared.
