Casual players do not want to do Hardcore content. They have no other content to do at the moment. So they're queueing into Hardcore duties, with the hardcore audience, who is forced to deal with these inexperienced casual players who do not want to even be there in the first place. The casuals don't want to be there, The hardcore players don't want them there. That is why there is constantly people fighting over "That duty is too hard!" "This duty is too easy! Make it harder!" with both sides dismissing each other, and having PF wars while the real problem has always been the lack of content and alternative rewards for casuals to go after that doesn't require them to raid hardcore content.

In Endwalker, they had Island Sanctuary. They had Variant dungeons. When casuals demanded the Axolotl mount - they deserved to be clowned on.
In Dawntrail, they have a single beast tribe, while Hardcore players have A savage tier, An ultimate, Chaotic raid, and content has been increasingly made difficult in their favor, and more rewards are gated behind their content.
So people who don't want to do chaotic are joining PFs for chaotic and that's somehow someone else's fault?

I completely understand that there's a huge lack of casual content in the game at the minute but queuing into hard content and complaining that it's hard and you don't want to be there is wild.
