I think your argument would have held up better with 2.0 when all jobs were new and fresh, were nobody had in vested ties to it.
If you were heavily invested in a poison mage with summons tacked on then Summoner was never the class for you to begin with. 8 years of history in this game where many regarded it as the worst Summoner in all of Final Fantasy is nothing to 20+ years of games where Summoners have a focus on Summon Magic.

I agree that a betrayal happened but it happened 8 years ago when they decided to twist Summoner into a WoW Warlock clone that ultimately failed. It even had "demons" in its description for goodness sake.
