You already reclear every week then spend the rest of the week doing nothing which is, in my opinion even worse of an experience.
Same goes for ultimate weekly lockout with totems btw, makes 0 sense

Just let me farm so I can gear my other jobs and have more fun playing them
And the really dumb reason why they have this cap is that supposedly, drip feeding and putting barriers in that feel artificial in nature are supposed to increase the amount of time people are subbed to the game. Its not done for convenience or to make the game feel harder, it is a component of the "Games as a Service" model. If it wouldn't cause a giant uproar they could probably sell items that lift the cap up to 900 per week temporarily via the online store much like how they sell the retainer books and level jump options. But they want to avoid anything that looks like buying power due to the politics of it.
