Because it's cool, fun, makes the game and the job better. If you think otherwise, you're wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Make PLD do 2% less damage than the other tanks to compensate and ensure that doesn't stop them from clearing any fight day 1. Make healers have more complex DPS rotations, consider re-adding Cleric Stance because it also made the game better and healers more engaging.
