If you look to the game's lore... indeed that's is the Carby's role. But when it comes to gameplay it's defnitely flawed both mechanically (locks you out when you most need them) and aesthetically (the carby just... stands there idling).

They can keep it still being a "Carbuncle thing" by having the animation of Searing Light and Radiant Aegis summon the Diamond and Obsidian carbuncles to cast it, much like it happens with other summons, thus leaving the basic Summon Carbuncle just an optional, cosmetic, feature.
