I dunno. On the one hand, I'm sitting here looking at the 10k+ white scrips I need for my endgame crafter gear and thinking "that's a lot of scrips". But on the other hand, if I could just press one button to receive scrips, there wouldn't be a sense of accomplishment.

FFXIV does have quick synthesis, but it comes with some (intentional) limitations. You can't quicksynth collectibles, and the chance of getting HQ items is fairly low. It's mostly intended for mass-producing intermediate materials.
