Trying to understand the negative posts I keep seeing about the Dev Team

I too think a good chunk of the responsibility lies with SE top management. But even if they're not giving ffxiv team enough resources, I still can't close an eye to how the devs are using what little money they get. Diadem? Perform? Eureka? LoV and the never ending endeavor to make PvP relevant? Meanwhile, the core elements of the game keep getting less and less attention.
Do they really think their game is ok and they can afford to waste time and money on side content like this? And do they really think the side content they're offering is good enough?

I honestly think it's both the devs and management.
