It has a hell of a lot to do with them. People quit FFXIV because it was a massively incomplete product. Trying to lure those people with another massively incomplete product (thing that an alpha naturally is) doesn't make the slightest sense.

There's a reason why alpha and early betas are covered by NDAs, and that's because they're not considered a valid publicity medium, as the lack of content and lack of polish would turn off more people than it would hype.

If the laughable theory that they invited inactives in order to lure them back into the game had the slightest ground to stand on, they wouldn't have an NDA in place.
