Why is endgame loot capped?

Now someone will come and tell me "but you haven't finished your fishing log, or you haven't farmed every single glam out there etc etc".

You are correct that, except for all the other things to do in the game, there is nothing else to do in the game.

Yeah, sorry but there are better games out there if you want to play something like a sandbox or farming simulator

Do people who makes these complaints only play FF14? I play FF14, but it's neither the only game that I play nor a full-time job. Yes, go play other games! That's not a criticism of any game.

I don't know why this is so hard for people to understand, so I'll just say it plainly: it takes longer to create content than it does to beat it.

That's the bottom line, and until LLMs make content production faster than content completion, pacing out content tends to be more enjoyable for gamers than no-lifing content as soon as it drops. Gamers are going to complain either way.
