If every class can get everything not only would that market crash from over saturation, but trading between players would nearly disappear. Thus hurting the economy.

This is economy 101 type stuff here. Not rocket science. There is nothing wrong with each class having unique desynths that the others need. The problem is that the money making power of each desynth class is not created equal so it is difficult to desynth your unique items, sell them for profit, and then obtaining demi materia with your newfound cash. That is the problem. Not the demand for demimateria.

When everyone can supply themselves there is no demand. Economies only exist due to supply and demand.
I don't disagree with you, but not "everybody" needs them. Since this is only something concerning endgame crafter/gatherers I just don't think it would hurt the overall economy. Of course the better way would be to find a balance in some other way, but a balance is still needed. Because right now BSM/GSM desynthers can do just that: "supply themselves" without taking part in the circle of supply and demand.
