FFXIV outdated patch cycle is one of the biggest issues in terms of content cadence.

[Striker44]

The price of one major patch that lasts 4.5 months is $58.50 or 49.50€ on an entry level subscription. Let that sink in.

What does 7.1 have that is worth subscribing the entire time? What do other games offer for that price?

Let this sink in, if you're completely up-to-date on the game and the only thing that interests you is the new stuff in 7.1, the price of the patch is only a 1-month subscription. Unless for some reason you choose to stay subscribed to a service you don't use, but that's on you...

Even the super fans think there is less than 1 month of content in a new patch. Things are looking dire.

Don't worry, I won't stay subscribed to a service I no longer use. I'm doing my part to reduce funding for future improvements to the game. You've suggested unsubbing many times to various people and I can only hope you will keep doing more of it so you can better enjoy the game as it quiets down.
