It's a little funny how they went "Hey, we're going to lighten positional requirements in a later patch" and the playerbase overwhelmingly went "What the hell, don't do that, we like it as it is." and they said "ok, I guess we shouldn't" Then they just come out with this change without any lead up or chance for us to say "That's a dumb idea, don't do that please."
Here's hoping for 7.08 if they decide to do one of those like Endwalker.
