Turning XIV into wow to keep the wow players would have likely alienated people who play XIV because they enjoy it and don't want to play wow.
And nobody was asking for anyone to turn 14 into WOW, that doesn’t mean that they couldn’t have tried to retain those players rather than declare them a lost cause before they even joined

If they joined, 14 tried to retain them and still failed then

1) the rest of us would have more content

2) at least they could say they tried so to speak

They really don’t have a leg to stand on when they didnt even try
