All of the artifact sets have lore tieing them to their respective job.

You are also not learning every job and becoming one super job. That is not the point of the quests. The point is that you learn many differing varieties of combat, separate from one another. You get a job crystal that allows you to use the actions of the specified job. Yes there are skills your character just has learned themselves. And those can be used through the crossclass system. Ever wondered why the amount of skills available for crossclass increases when youre just a class? a job is for a specific purpose. and so is their gear.
