Absolutely. If you don't have the money, you can't play. Can't be more radical than that.

Yes, I found a magical way to play SE's games without giving them money.
Oh wait, no I haven't because I'm not a wizard and I actually want to pay the company for their product.

Also; dual boxing doesn't magically double your profits.
Unless you're using a bot, you're only using one character at a time.

This individual is paying 2 subscriptions, (kind of like your idea), except he's actually playing the game. to get gil.
Nope. You don't need to use a bot to use two characters at a time. That's the large difference between multiboxing and botting. All you need is two PCs, Two Screens, Two keyboards (some very skilled multiboxers managed to do it with several, but it's not really needed, or you can do it on one PC if it's very powerful).

if you go around doing quests and dungeons on one PC and keep your character crafting on the second, that's perfectly doable. You're not using any external program, because all you have to do is to press the arrows and enter on the second keyboard once every few seconds, so you're not botting.

It allows you to focus on adventuring while still making millions of gil with crafting at the same time.

Other examples are levelinking with the two characters (putting a character on follow, no external program, no botting). It effectively doubles the gold earned. Spiritbonding is another... The examples are multiple. And there are PLENTY people in the game that do it.
