In an alpha test you invite only some peoples that meet some points.
Inactive accounts that meet the requirements doesn't meet the requirement of needing to be an active FFXIV account holder in order to even fill out an application.

For kicks I did it with one of my inactive accounts from 1.0 alpha and beta, was able to no problem. Beta is when he mentions active/legacy accounts he'll try to get in but well, we know the opposite will happen since beta is a good advertisement grounds and a state to try to win people over.

They know they'll get the small playerbase from 1.0 back easily, so it's not really them who they care about in the long run.
