Why are alisaie and alphinaud in Dawntrail?

[Chasingstars]

They are just their to learn from how another country handles matters, Tural, and then take that information to go and help the Garleans on the relief effort. Nothing more.

Which is a completely arse reason if you'd ask me. There's nothing we encountered that would represent some sort of character growth in that regard. They probably seen more valuable things in Shadowbringers alone.

And even if it was meant to be a fruitless quest ("well we tried but we didn't see anything that we could use."), why both of them? Why not an actual Garlean like Jullus? The story could be written that way. I honestly feel that a garlean reacting to Turali culture and taking notes would be much more endearing to see.
