So many people loved Corsair in XI and he was basically an Archer/Bard who used guns instead of bows.
Why the hate for XIV's bard?
Also these jobs are only the first ones. Yoshi-p already said numerous times that there will be more than one job for each class so dont worry, you will eventually have your DD archer.

The focus on all these battle changes and job implementation is balancing the combat system. Making the archer into a DD class would make no sense.

We have Dragoon, Monk and whatever the marauder becomes to be physical DD.
We have the Black mage to take care of the main ranged damge.
We have the White mage to heal and keep the party alive.
All there is left is a class who can support the party/annoy the enemy and the archer is perfect for it because of it's position. Having a clear view of all the party members and enemys makes targeting easy wich means a bard will be able to use songs when needed and damage the rest of the time.

With time there will surely be other support classes (maybe arcanist) and SE will give Archers a DD job because others will be able to fill that support role in the party.
