Red mage was designed to be proficient in the ways of enfeebling magic and single-target/self enhancements. Magic spells were split so that red mages focused on single-target magic, while white mages excelled in AoE magic.

In regards to Haste specifically, the stats surrounding the spell were created for a single target in mind, so for balance reasons we have no plans to make it possible to turn it into an AoE spell.

Due to this, we do not have plans of allowing red mage spells to simply be changed into AoE spells.

Any chance we'll be on equal footing with the other jobs any time soon as a whole or does your design for RDM also including leaving RDM in the dust?

Because every mage is better than us right now and we aren't a DD and we aren't a better buffer than anyone. Also, we aren't a tank, regardless of how tough we can be and that we have access to shield mastery. Our shield is limited to a Genbu's shield or nothing useful.

The job has major problems, your answer didn't solve any of them. RDMs expect to be taken seriously in these next couple of updates since we clearly weren't in Aby. Some actual transparency into our future would go a long way to start RDMs being able to have actual discussions on things that might be useful.
