They are catering ultimates to casuals like they did with Elden Ring.

That's not really true, UWU and UCOB have been suffering A LOT from the balance changes done to jobs, DPS checks are easier to meet now than they were in SB (some mechanics raiders straight up have to hold DPS not to push the bosses too much) and raidwides don't hurt as much as they used to.

"Lets punish players for the content being collateral in the constant changes/balances to jobs that they have no control over."

Doing too much damage and pushing mechanics are all by-products of job changes. If it's not content in the current level cap then they don't look at it too much. Why kick the content harder than it needs to since it's already being kicked unintentionally?

I'm unsure what you're trying to say, I'm just stating that Ultimate's difficulty isn't really set in stone because they aren't adjusted alongside balance changes. Which is something else entirely than checkpoints.
