this is probably because dps is not actually representing a fantasy archetype. dps is the everything except healer/tank category.

common fantasy archetypes are

healer, tank, fighter, ranged, caster

when you realize this, you see that ranged users may have felt under represented. Also support probably feels under represnted.

and a person looking for a caster fantasy would probably not care about a tank, a healer, or a fighter

so when you say dps you got X, it doesnt really resonate with people. They dont see themselves as dps usually.
So since fighter/melee DPS (4) is over represented, I guess they shouldn't get an addition until all roles/subroles get 4 jobs. (Caster if we don't count BLU which SE doesn't anyway, Healer, Another new Ranged DPS) So melee DPS is gonna be waiting 6 years, too. Would people that like fighter/melee DPS be happy about that? Fair is fair I guess.

I don't think that's going to happen.
