There's a lot of issues with your post but I think this point is especially erroneous. Dark Knights understood there was a gap in active mitigation, DPS, playstyle, useless skills etc. compared to the other two tanks before Shake it Off was even changed. By no means did Dark Knights suddenly see this one new "party utility" aspect and want to copy it and call it a day. It merely exacerbated an ongoing issue.

Also I still fail to see why Paladin in Heavensward and Dark Knight in Stormblood can't be compared. The only difference is the argument about the degree of change needed to bring Dark Knight back on par, which many, myself included, have reason to maintain is also similar.
