People who are mad about the "limited job" didn't actually want Blue Mage.

I don't understand the logic here.
People really want BLU but not as a solo job. It's as simple as that.

It's not as simple as that. People really just wanted RDM, but with a BLU aesthetic considering everyone is whining about the 'mini-game' aspect. They wanted another class that you gain skills through class quests (even though they largely removed that) and is basically a copy of RDM, but using enemy skills in their rotation instead of made up skills.

The fact that you believe that's all Blue Mage and Blue Magic is makes me think you're the one that has a flawed idea of Blue Mage, not the people who are upset.

So you're saying that learning skills from monsters and then using those skills isn't BLU's main shtick?
