On the contrary: the easier something is, the less excusable it is to not do it and so people are more likely to want to see you do it (not demand it, mind you. Huge difference).
You have full mobility on a physical ranged. Naturally people want to see you press buttons while moving instead of only moving or only dpsing.
You only have one dot with 30s duration. Naturally people want to see you use it.
However neither a phys ranged not dpsing while moving nor a healer not keeping their dot up will get called out in casual content barring some extreme (and quite possibly reportable) cases that have less to do with "the community demanding it" and more with someone probably encountering the occasional a-hole.
A lot more DPS options. Oh I got to press aero 3 from time to time. With that gone and the blood lilly being added, I've still got the same number of dps skills as back then. Just can't use one of them nearly as often.

Community DOES demand it. Ever read these forums? "Using a lilly is a dps loss" Same with PLD and Clemency. There are more than that.

The moment someone says that using a GCD is a dps loss, they are saying don't use it.
