Why are there so many useless cross skills?

Some examples:

For example Mantra for Dragoon
Increases HP recovery via curing magic by 20% for self and nearby party members

Or Hawk's Eye for Summoner
Increases DEX by 15%

Rly SE, dafuq? Summoner seems to be the most useless class anyways, why give him only 3 useful cross skills?

Hawk's Eye is a bit of a headscratcher, but having Mantra on your DRG gives you awesome party utility. Crazy AoE about to happen? Help your healers and pop Mantra.

I find mantra to be quite useful for those hard hitting AoEs like self-destruct. They are not useless you just need to learn how and when to use them.

Or cure for Arcanist, who has Physick...
