I mean, when you try to summon Ramuh-Egi it fails but the reasoning wasn't completely damning against getting a Ramuh summon.

Especially when you then went on to later get Demi-Bahamut...

All the other summons, you haven't attempted to summon yet. Partly because you got side tracked by trying to take out the Ascian and partly because you also needed to stop faux-Sari from being all evil and what not.
I think what Jukebox12 was refering to is, that the job quests itself pretty much decided what a Smn gets. The 2.0 questline was about how allagan Smn's summoned Egis and we learn this as well. The 3.0 questline was about obtaining DWT and the 4.0 about mini-Bahamut.

In my personal opinion this is a design mistake which wasn't done with any of the other jobs, since because of this Smn's are pretty much "traped" with having small pets, DWT and mini-Bahamut by their own jobquests.

So even if developers think about giving Smn a complete overhaul they can't do it because of their jobquests.
