No wonder I said it was convoluted, you've mixed up some people that have potentially a fear not only of (a) premades (b) a specific number of jobs who may or may not be in a premade and (c) an issue that you have because you just may lose in a 3-way PVP match, because you have a grudge if you encounter a premade.

As to the 3 a day- well we're close, I usually do 2, however, it seems I've done considerably more FL than you. This behaviour is hardly new - so if anyone's should be using the "layman's terminology' , well it hardly applies here. In any case I'm not about to tell you on whether you should like it or not.
I chose to be condescending as I figured you would have understood by now that players will use what works the best, and that personal victories often matter more to an individual than the more statistical truth of actually getting 1st place, which you agreed to.

Like let me use an offtopic example for a moment. Magic the Gathering, Modern Format. There is a deck called Rakdos Scam. It blows up and becomes the most dominant deck in the format that only loses to a mirror match of itself. It takes the parent company an entire 8 months to ban one of its key cards, all the while up to that point claiming the format, aka game mode, is "healthy". Like wow, that sounds messed up the game designers would just let something run a muck for so long.

Why bring that as an example? Just look at Dark Knight. Everyone day one of 6.1 could see it had a lot of problematic elements to its kit. But Square Enix does nothing to actually address the stuff people noticed, like the AoE effect not matching the visual indicator as just one teeny tiny example. It among other elements of the job are things have existed well over a year and a half at this point. And nothing is done to actually try and fix, the expectation is more so it will dodge another patch notes update for any potential nerfs that isn't a sweeping one like the duration of crowd control or the adjustments of damage reduction. As all that matters to Square Enix is Crystalline Conflict, if it is fine there, then surely it is fine in every other game mode to them.
