There is a difference.

GEO changes the game at a fundamental level. BRD and COR simply make it a little faster.
Well, I think COR buffs are pretty huge but I agree that cor/brd buffs simply make things faster while geo completely changes the game and breaks it in half.

Chaos + store tp(or double attack) is huuuuuuuuuge TP gain and increases your damage a lot, but it doesn't increase it at anywhere near the level of a geo will, ever. Removing 50%+ of an enemies defense while giving everyone a ton of attack is insane, the mob goes from huge defense to capping your pdif by simply bringing a geo, which adds more damage than a cor ever will by itself.

As stated above, Frailty removes over 50% of an enemies defenses and works for the ENTIRE ALLIANCE including PETS. No other jobs can bring something this strong.

Vex + attunement can't be replaced by anything any other job brings, and allows you to almost completely ignore enemies entire damaging mechanics and just TP burn it with melee. Without vex + attunement your melee would need to use a lot of -DT gear fulltime and eat status effects 24/7, game breaking buffs only geo can bring.

Malaise removes 100% of nearly every enemies magic defense which is an obscene magic damage boost that NO OTHER JOB IN THE GAME can give your entire ALLIANCE.

Languor + Focus gives you an obscene amount of magical accuracy on a level that no other job in the game can bring. Frazzle gives a good amount of -magical evasion to enemies but it ACTUALLY CANNOT LAND ON ANYTHING YOU NEED IT ON IT BECAUSE IT CAN BE RESISTED UNLIKE GEO DEBUFFS. while also NOT EVEN AS STRONG AS AN IDRA LANGOUR. Makes a lot of sense.

So yeah, anyone saying cor/brd are comparable are pretty much not thinking straight. What a geo brings cannot be replaced by any other job, geo fills up 1/6 party slots automatically because you cannot replace it's powerful buffs with any other single job and it is the most efficient and best way to debuff enemies and buff yourself. It also enables strategies you could never do without a geo so it breaks the game in half and enables things no other support job enables.

Geo needs to be nerfed to the ground.
