To counter the exploration argument, if there is a need for such a massive QoL to encourage exploration, then the zone isn't interesting in the first place.
Tbh, a lot of people think it's some massive grind... when it really isn't.

Had this happen with an FC mate and working through the GC ranks AFTER they were capped with seals at one of the earlier ones. Gave them a link to the hunt logs "please do those" and helped them by funneling gear to turn into seals through a couple of instances while also using my level 80 to blow up others... and in like an hour or two they were already at 2nd Lt with the hunts unlocked (which is what we were after). I then got to go help track down and encourage them to murder their first B rank =D

Part of the problem is that the players that have been traumatized by WoW are expecting massive grinds for key system unlocks... when the reality is the only real massive grind in FFXIV are the relic weapons. Just use Google for a guide to the aetherpoints, and you'll have it in like an afternoon for an entire expansion, if not several. Flight points are easy enough to get, especially if you are doing all the blue quests in an area.
