I mean, EQ started as by far the most unforgiving and grindy MMO games ever.
They only made instanced content because the game was getting old and they had to give newer/casual players alternatives to more competitive players.
Everything you listed as being a countermeasure to competition was just put in place to compete with the newer MMOs that came after EQ. Of course, i could also be totally wrong too.
I personally think WOW was the biggest influence on post-velious/luclin content.

problem is wow was introduced till after LoY, which is technically when instancing started.
