I'd just like to point out that the side of the community who fully enjoys MCH is mostly composed of casuals. They don't know about the many problems of the job until they face those. Most of them have no idea that Flamethrower is the lowest priority of aoes, or about the Flamethrower tick fishing.
Just doing some quick napkin math with potency values, and Spread spam is lowest aoe priority even counting heat and subsequent autocrossbow.

It's Bio (360/GCD) -> BS Auto (300) -> Flamethrower (250) -> Spread Spam (207)

Cursory searching shows Flamethrower fishing being less than .2% of your total damage. This is significantly less than Stormblood Seigan (Shadowbringer Seigan is a little higher) and that was safely ignorable.

That said, Flamethrower and Bioblaster really should have an interaction with each other - Both to spice up AoE, and potentially be something you change up your ST rotation around when Flamethrower is ready.
