So another thought came to me about this:
Alexander can see infinite possibilities. He's seen, more or less, every possible timeline ever, across all of Eorzea. If we take the cutscene at face value and use that as fact, that would mean that being able to channel him as an egi is not only something he was aware of, but something he permitted.
You'd be RPing as someone chosen by an omnipotent god to harness their power, because he has the power to make that not so.
Alternatively, we're simply in one of the millions of timelines where Alexander DOES pick you, but that then brings the "chosen one" caveats that trump even WoL in terms of can/cannot do.
Now just watch, when in 4.0 Alex becomes the new tank pet and all of this speculation is for naught.
Just as Alexander knew it would be.
