I have no interest in the story and when I was doing the MSQ on PS4 a few years ago I got sick of it after 10 hours. I put more than that in a day when I recently bought FFXIV and Shadowbringers on Steam with Scenario Skip. I’m enjoying it so much more and love learning new things myself than being handheld for 150+ hours.

Anyone else in a similar boat?
Of course not. I would be crazy to pay so I can avoid playing the game. The story is nearly the only thing of interest in the game. The "endgame" is just a boring gear grind, and filler content. I could easily imagine paying to avoid that grind.
