The thing is ... under the ideal condition that would be the case, but things haven't been ideal.

For example, the 2.0 PLD quest wasn't great, but was ok, and like you said decent enough to establish the job identity. But the PLD quest line in HW got so stupid that the writing became self-aware with the NPC said - quote "it's the most stupid thing I have ever heard!" at the conclusion of the question. The MNK questline was decent enough in 2.0 and 3.0, but by stormblood it feels more like babysitting a complete wuss that just happen to be the last hope of the "order". I don't remember much but yeah, I don't there is much hope there.

By stormblood, the amount of bad vs good job quests were at best: 50-50 and I feel the trend would only get worse as more and more job added for each expansion. Just like good quest can be a possitive for the lore, bad quest can also damage it, to which not having them at all is actually is the better option.
