Conversely, if 60FPS was possible I see no reason why they wouldn't do it, since it doesn't have any downsides.

In all honesty, DQXI likely runs in the mid 40s with spikes both up and down if you could uncap framerates.  But this isn't a pleasant framerate to persist at.  There are numerous points where demanding features spike but the framerare is stable so it could probably run much higher, just not at an acceptable degree of stability near 60.

I agree, but it seems as if Wyrdness is arguing that a locked 60FPS would be possible with no other adjustments, and Square Enix decided not to do it just because.
