I think it's less about outcry and more of the fact some people reported having issues using SE's artificial FPS limiter.

This might negatively affect some people, even though they are far from being the majority of the players.

I am biased towards having uncapped FPS though, but I am more concerned about the reports about capping your FPS on XIV causing people some issues.

From what I understood they are just replacing the Unlimited FPS with the 90 FPS max without adding anything else to the options menu.
