why the devs take the lazy way out on low lvl content scaling?

It's possible for some jobs more than others.

As I stated earlier, WHM used to have skills like Protect, Fluid Aura, etc. back in ARR level content. The code for them should still be in the game so you would only need to adjust the skills to function as low level versions of skills like Aqua Veil, Assize, etc. SE already set this as a precedence when they did similar for MNK by lowering the level of Chakra down to 15 and reintroduced Steel Peak and Howling Fist as low level versions of TFC and Enlightenment, returning skills that once existed in low level content back without much issue.

Then is low level content going to be tuned up to account for these extra skills? With limited skills you can still watch a video because of how stupid easy old content is.

That's up to SE to decide, not me. I personally would have but given that SE has nerfed everything into oblivion to appease the casual player, I doubt they would. They wasted the opportunity of the Stat Squish to fine-tune all the old content to not be a cakewalk and while they did adjust the MSQ dungeons for Trusts/Duty Support, they aren't harder per say, just more mechanically driven.

That doesn't mean the possibility doesn't exist though.

Edit: It just occured to be but, given that some jobs do exceeding poorly in comparison to others when level synched, would they even need to be adjusted? SCH and AST already have a leg up on WHM due to having their primary sustain tools at much earlier levels than WHM and have several oGCDs that WHM doesn't, so would WHM suddenly having access to those skills make WHM OP or would it just be on par with SCH and AST?

Same with other jobs. Would PLD having Flash as a low level version of Holy Circle be problematic when WAR is capable of practically soloing content as soon as level 70, if not earlier? Would DRG getting their AoE be problematic when MNK gets their fully AoE rotation before level 50? Then we have the jobs that weren't designed for low level content coming in with nukes like Standard Step that completely invalidate anything any other job can do. It just seems kind of moot when it comes down to it
