It's like a private business, they are able to impose whatever additional rules and requirements around the common rules that they feel is best for them. Just be sure to check what those additional rules are before you commit yourself to an FC/LS and you'll be fine. Don't join the ones that you don't feel are fair.

As already noted, the N/G system is a good compromise for random groups, and with the Content Finder being the primary method of getting yourself into end-game content, you'll be quite glad for it. If you want WHM gear, then sign up on WHM. If you want PLD gear, sign up on PLD. That way, you are in control of what equipment you are capable of getting - all that is required then, is a) the piece dropping, and b) you winning the lot.
