Truthfully, I actually think it's a bit of both. As I mentioned previously, there are mitigating strategies that can be applied (but aren't completely failsafe), and I do believe that SE could be doing more to handle this since I hear their "Technical limitations" excuse so much, I'm more surprised when they actually say they CAN do something. But Square Enix is a huge brand, and FFXIV is a very popular game, as well as being run by Japanese developers not western developers (unlike Blizzard, the main rival, which is a western development studio), so there's popularity as well as racist intentions potentially going on here further conflating the issue and making the attack at higher risk (as well as increased risk of higher potency).
