The changes just comes off as "we don't trust the playerbase to git gud so we'll just nerf everything" There's a fine balance between making every job viable and not making them cookie cutters. Imo 4.0 was the first and last expansion to achieve both. Sure some jobs had downsides but for the most part that was just due to questionable job design. Like why did MNK have a move which removed your GL stacks and slowed your gcd for miniscule dmg? Regardless I think we will further see vitriol in the future in addition to more homogenization if they lock all jobs to the 1-2 min bursts.

What you will see is ppl who don't know how to maximize burst windows fall behind and be excluded. They've ironically added more pressure to perform because now you HAVE to do your burst correctly since everyone else is doing the same thing at the same time. At least before you could get away with the notion that my job doesn't fit into every burst window but now there is no excuse. Couple with the fact that parsing is becoming more prevalent, this design choice is going to bite them in the rear sooner rather than later. The return of "skip soar" is drawing near and the devs have no one to blame but themselves for turning every job into a dps.
