So the only way to progress our DoH/DoL tools will be Cosmic Exploration?

[Valence]

see people? this is why we don't get content
people don't want to do content to get the stuff they want
they just want to craft\ buy mats with tomes \ scrips, hand over and be done

And crafting those (especially with expert recipes), is not doing content? Crafting in general is not doing content? You'll have to explain the logic here?
I mean if you could literally buy the relic step and be done with it by throwing gil or skips at it, I could see you point though?
And, finally, who knows, maybe I'll love Cosmic Exploration! I'm not exactly hopeful in that regard with what I have seen from the live letter (personally running between nodes and spamming a button without even a thought or gameplay system behind isn't exactly what i'd call appealing to me specifically), but maybe I will! Either way, I hope the people that this is targeted toward will actually enjoy it, and I say this genuinely.
