The people complaining about it aren't the same people who loved the job in SB. The complainers were either not playing in SB, playing other jobs, or playing Bard thinking "it's a support, my damage doesn't matter" or something (while also not pressing Foe Requiem).

Machinist being a mess kind of took the public perception hit, hard for anyone to claim Bard was tough when be-perfect-or-else Machinist was right there waving its arms.

And it's not that there isn't a tracking burden / learning curve, it's just that people don't expect to need to practice or learn stuff (to operate on a base level anyway) after trying MCH or DNC.
