True, most of Eorzeans are illiterate, and that is why an education (or owning books) is a privilege and adds a point. I think that's the point of the question. In the third world, the 98% of population is illiterate (1 out of 5 people on Earth, and Eorzea is not Hydaelyn), so yes, even on Earth being literate is a privilege.
Nobody's talking about earth, though. We can't measure this world's societal structure by earth standards. They're not even at the same developmental stage as our third world countries.
Edit: We're still missing the context for the vast majority of these questions. What do we know about faith systems in Eorzea? Who's got an in-road where? We don't really see anyone thumbing their nose at another for favoring another member of the twelve(Correct me if I'm wrong).
The police aren't just "on call" like they are in today's world. They're largely available wherever they happen to physically be, as people can't just dial them. Your average person doesn't have a linkpearl that goes to the Wailers or the Blades, or anyone for that matter.
The job situation, given the lack of any kind of formal education anywhere, is largely dependent on whatever needs another set of hands. We see that in any of the guilds available. They will literally take anybody. Walk in, get an apprenticeship, start doing stuff.
Things like this:

Don't even kind of apply here. The "workplace setting" is totally different from what we know of workplace settings. Classrooms almost don't exist. We also have no way of actually measuring this. What samples of information can we take? Where do we get the context for this?
Edit 2: Ul'Dah is the only spot that has millions? How much do you imagine one of the Lominsan Galleons, owned by private crews costs?
