They do this because nobody wants to invest a bunch of time into learning a toolkit they'll never use again after that duty. They also do this because casuals struggle to learn their actual toolkits that they use regularly, and making them learn a new one with any real complexity at all quite literally will wall them out of the rest of the MSQ. (This is a friendly reminder that Very Easy exists and people STILL struggle with it.)
Also worth noting that the reason some people struggle even in very easy mode often has little to do with combat anyway. Some of the solo duties are badly explained and involve mechanics such as stealth that work poorly in FF14. If you're familiar with such mechanics from other games, such duties will be a breeze. If you're confronted with them for the first time in solo duties, some people will struggle. And such mechanics do absolutely nothing to raise the skill floor of players in regards to their rotation.
