There's 0 excuse to not have Tier 8 Materias these days, SE has made it so much easier to obtain the highest tier in this Xpac compared to 2.0/3.0 days. 80 hunts PS4 players can easily make it by being in the party, all you got to do is Strike once with an AOE regardless if you can see it or not you will still hit it.
You missed the point again, possibly because you're so intent on being right that you want to make any statement to feel like you are...

When you're on a console, the mark currently is dead BEFORE you arrive. Doesn't matter if you're in a party, you won't have the mark load before dying, therefore no hitting it, meaning no materia (and I noticed you didn't even recognize that a good chunk of the continent can't even participate because of time zone issues)

Spirit bonding is great... when it works. But also it's a gamble. I get more grade 7 gear from my spirit bonding than grade 8, and even then the grade 8 materia I get often isn't anything I want to use because the type of materia you get is random.

Most of us, also, have bigger goals for our gil than buying materia, if that's your next recommendation. If you're doing roulettes just to get gil to buy gil, that's where my argument that you're not doing content hard enough for it to matter comes into play.

Again, my point is that for the content that the OP wants to play, materia isn't needed. Yes, they should use it if they have it, but they're not massively inconveniencing anyone by missing it, except maybe you.
