It became bigger in shadowbringers with the job changes making a lot of things more accessible. But my feeling is endwalker probably burned out a lot of people because of how harsh the 8-man jump rope was. It's funny because the streamers were having a blast doing it supposedly, albeit I bet if anyone watched all the death footage and had the voice chatter recorded there would be a different picture. A lot of people did not like dying over and over to RNG from connection issues, people having a bad night, etc, on p10s and p12s. P12S was probably the worse of the two but it got off easy because it was the final encounter. p8s was rough due to the bleeds.
