It makes no sense to continue to require the story and continue to edit it for the sake of people who don't care about the story.
Thats them, thats not FFXIV.
Sounds like those stories are entirely self contained and separated from an overall Main Story. Which is fine. FFXIV even has some of these in their Raids, Dungeons, and many activities. However FFXIV has a story to tell, and its world changes WITH the story, which leads to content being unlocked, and some of those stories exist thanks to the progression from the MSQ.
If players dont care about the story, hey, you can skip it and go about your day. Either from buying a skip, or just Skip Cutscene.
