Oh, that's a good point. Â I hadn't thought about that.
Ostensibly, Garlemald made few, if any, incursions into the Steppe. Â Primals are normally summoned when the tribes that worship them are under threat and pleading for divine intervention. Â Perhaps the Xaela have never reached that point as a whole because Garlemald never threatened them on that level?
Well we see with the beast tribes that many believe summoning their god is wrong. And it's usually in desperation or a last-effort when is summoned. Primals also were incredibly hard and difficult to summon due to the amounts of crystals/aether/faith required. This mostly changed during the battle of Silvertear Lake when a LOT more aether started gushing out at and into the land. (This is also what causes a lot of that funky weather like gloom in Mor Dhona, Umbral Static, etc.) Eorzea was always very aether-rich, but now it's more like it's flooded in aether. And this means easier primal summoning. Which then means more tempered followers. And that means MORE primals. And MORE followers, and so on.
Chances are, the Xaela never had that happen.
