Hopefully Materia and Dynamis won't become seasonal DCs, but it's possible.
They introduced the servers at a time when a majority of the WoW Exodus players had hit the endgame and realized that all the hype had lead to nothing.
They did all the content that appealed to them in the two years they were here (Yes, WoW players consume content like it is red bull), and the 8 month wait time at the end of ShB, coupled with Endwalker content being basically non existent outside of week 1, they realized that XIV is just not the amazing game that was advertised and moved on.
