There's no way they could possibly be coerced into doing our bidding as Adventurers. Also not to mention the fact that they require elemental crystals to be brought into this world for any given time.

Sorry, Summoner as a pet class just wouldn't work with this game unless they completely scrapped the entire story and all lore concerning them and re-did it from the start.

Edit: The only thing I think would work and not interfere with how the Primals are is a system like FF7's for example where the creature is summoned, uses a single gigantic attack and then leaves.
By that rule of thumb SMN cannot be a job at all: not even a nonpet job that only casts single instance spells.

So why did SE say SMN would be in FFXIV as a playable job If we cannot control them in any manner?

Your logic seems contradictory
