Different strokes I guess.
FFXIV isn't designed around end game, unlike many of the other MMORPGs (especially WoW). The RPG part also gets more attention here. The end game is still there to enjoy but it's not a focus by design.

That's going to be a big adjustment for anyone used to the "rush to end game" leveling meta.
