Didn't they have to literally destroy the entire world and reboot it because it sucked so bad?

I don't disagree that it may be good now, but it was a long time getting there.

Yes, they had to do a whole mega reboot to redeem it, but that's very much not the same game that got noms to make it into GotD now. To give an idea of how far it's come...it was so successful Naoki Yoshida, the Director and Producer (he does both things) of XIV is part of Squeenix's top decisionmakers circle now and he's slated to headline the next mainline Final Fantasy, because they need something that works and comes out on time after the embarrassment of FFXV and he has a reputation for raising the dead. It was so successful that at PAX, the head writer of Shadowbringers got this reaction:

Like...GameFAQS might hate it. I don't know. But I really have to emphasize XIV is not WoW in any way that matters.

The only thing I want from XIV is a single-player only version, to enjoy the purportedly excellent story without doing the MMO stuff..

It is effectively a partial SP game these days. They implemented a play-with-AI system for the latest expac's dungeons and are looking at backporting it to the previous releases.
