Well...they added Summoner in a patch but the summons in an expansion in XI, so that's not it - It's because they made the dumb decision to make most content in this game revolve around 4 man, so that heavily limits what kind of jobs can be added easily. 4 man has no room for a support unless they take away 1 dps, which can slow things WAY down in later levels.

If they switch the party setup to 6 man, 8/9 man or 15 man (1.0) sizes, they can add jobs much more easily because there will actually be "room" for it.
