Archers have abillities that Auto Attack would mess with

As I said, any competent dev would have changed those skills to accommodate the new system, to redesign the battle system only to exclude one class is laughable, especially as they have changed skills on other classes.

They haven't so much redesigned the battle system as copied FF11's.

plenty of other games handle not breaking CC with ranged auto attack just fine.

Exactly, most games do it by deselecting the target .. novel idea I'm sure !
