The real crux is that both drk and war have stance locked abilities. You have enough space on war because Equiallibrium, FC, Decimate, Inner Release all have 'second' abilities in defiance. They are earned at different levels, they are separate abilities, they just don't take up extra space on your bars. Drk has fewer, but still a couple. Pld has zero stance locked abilities putting everything they own on the bar at once. If you add 4 more abilities to War hotbars, it would get pretty tight too just like pld is.

The number of abilities is about the same. War/Drk just don't have them all on their bar simultaneously. It doesn't 'feel' like decimate and steel cyclone are different abilities as the function so similar, but technically they are. Pld doesn't get that space efficiency.
