If your objective is to play a totally solo experience why would you pick FFXIV for it and not something of a similar scale that's also created from the ground up to be single player, since as an MMO XIV still has to make a lot of compromises that others wouldn't have to.
What advantages does it have over something like, say, Xenoblade?
Some enjoy the story. Others enjoy having a cheap hobby. Maybe they find the jobs fun to play, the world pretty, etc. And MMOs make regular additions to their game in many forms. At the end of the day, what draws a person to any given game is usually going to be different from another and ultimately it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.
