For me, it's more about being able to challenge content that has been designed for lower-levels, ie FATEs and Dungeons, without throwing an imbalance into the experience and disrupting other players' enjoyment.

It worked reasonably well in XI - it looks like the XIV team have learned to avoid the forced-sync XP grinds of that game, which were an unfortunate abuse of the mechanic.
