And you balance for casual play because that's where 85% of the FFXIV playerbase is. You don't make every decision based off casual play but to ignore it is a very bad idea.
Yeah but OP didnt took into consideration other aspects of clemency and that pld sacrifices a lot of dps when using it, leave alone the pure fact of healers having so large healing kit that could heal dps tanking dungeon so clemency does now even matter or another fact of other tanks being able to perform perfectly fine in comparison and even way better than pld... And this is the reason why balancing it for casuals who does not even know how stuff work in the game is asking for trouble.

So no, devs should never lower their balance standards to the lowest denominator, as it would break end game for majority of players who play on 80, as majority is doing raids.
