This makes 100% sense to me and I don't doubt it but is there a source for this besides conjecture from all we know?
Yep, page 168 of the lore book.
"They also abhor bloodshed, find war barbaric, and would never dream of allowing their wisdom to be used for martial purposes. As such, they guard closely all knowledge they deem dangerous."
And: "In times past, Eorzean pupils eagerly flocked to Sharlayan's settlement in the Dravanian hinterlands from all corners of the realm. There, they studied a multitude of subjects from different fields -- though it seems that instructors reserved certain wisdom for those of Sharlayan citizenship alone."
