Simple words, wouldn't work current game state. Paladin would become a meme tank overall and never taken in Savage/Ultimate. Having higher def than others doesn't make a bit of difference with player skill, the higher DPS jobs will always take their place. DPS has always been a dominant force in 14, including majority of RPGs.

Players don't want to spend longer time just to play a safe game, when putting effort is a higher reward and safer than making the fights longer.
