Over and over again players will end up doing things the devs didn't intend because players will try anything to squeeze out the most numbers possible. The FFXIV devs may have never intended healer stance dancing in instances to be a thing at all, but it happened because players saw an easier way to meet dps checks or just do content faster.

Very often the players decide the expectations of roles. The most devs can do is change things to discourage what doesn't align with their vision.
