I wouldn't underestimate people's want for glamour. Back when I did raid in progression content (Second Coil before nerfs), I distinctly remember the group really pushing to clear T7 for that healer coat. So that it could be worn to events to look nice.
Since so much pretty gear is level-locked, I'd say most people are going to run content for items at the least. They may not like it, or may stop when their outfit's complete, but it's still done. (Not to mention the relic grind for other items some may deem pretty).
