In the end, the current RDM is "good enough". Its also extremely popular, unlike BLU. (Just the number of people currently playing RDM shows this)
You're inadvertently proving his point. What happened to SMN/SCH was a mistake they've openly admitted for years now. RDM was never going to get that treatment because it was a pain to balance both jobs and created more work than necessary. To get the fantasy of a "Jack of All Trades", you were only going to get, what you call, "good enough." Or something else (BLU).

And its a false comparison to compare RDM to BLU. RDM is a standard job, whereas BLU is labeled as side content. Why not compare the popularity between PLD and FSH next?
