The reality is they are already pushing the outdated engine to its limits. Everytime they are asked about a feature its always "cant do, something something 1.0 code"
Except they've also announced that FFXIV was approved for a major infrastructure update that will begin in 7.0 and take 3-4 years to complete.

What can't be done now may be possible when that's completed.

Another issue they have to consider is what player clients are capable of handling. Not everyone has a high end PC gaming machine. They can do all the upgrades in the world to their infrastructure and it doesn't mean squat if players aren't likewise upgrading their clients to handle the changes.

PC will have minimum/recommended system requirements updated for 7.0. They have promised PS4 support through at least 7.0 but have made no promises past that. I expect that means that the game will be seeing some really helpful QoL changes as soon as PS4 support is dropped. I know they're keeping an eye on how many players are moving from PS4 to PS5.
