And I don't buy it. For me, if you asked me to rank the last 3 FFXIV expansions, in terms of story, it'd go:
Endwalker>Shadowbringers>Stormblood
but if you asked me to rank them in terms of post story content (Raids, side quests, etc) it'd go:
Stormblood>Shadowbringers>Endwalker
I don't even think Stormblood's story is bad.
