I disagree, even during SCOB fights were heavily scripted, take T7 for example, the game has always the same mechanics order and the only variances are who gets which debuff, ie curse shriek/voice, but even adds during that fight always appear at each cardinal point. The game has been always focused on learning "Simon Says" but the way the add and implement mechanics are what I prefer in this game compared to others, just watch many of WoWs legion raid bosses and mechanics are pretty simple, but then you have byakko with its shoot em up bullets, and who knows what we will get in the future.
