Or if you want a more serious answer, the carbuncle sucks and it always has. Pet control has never worked in this game so any ideas relating to the carbuncle on that front get tossed automatically.

So then why not give it more abilities that work like the other summons? Because the one it has already sucks to use. Radiant aegis is a pain in the ass cooldown to use because it is unusable while you are using summon titan/ifrit/garuda until they do their big attack and dissipate so your carbuncle repopulates. Or for an even longer time period when you are in the middle of bahamut and phoenix phase. This automatically makes anything you strap to the carbuncle kind of insufferable to use. It also can't be a gcd because the gcd rotation is already tight on summoner. And given the previous limitation, whatever you added would be real hard to use in the 2 minute burst window anyway so why bother?

To prop up a fluff ability? I'm the wrong guy to come to with concerns like that, I am the lone kaiten removal defender. Whatever ability you would add to carbuncle is better added literally anywhere else in the kit. I would happily toss the rat into the garbage just to be able to use Radiant Aegis whenever I pleased.
Excuse me but they've drawn in players that liked the original iteration. Wow let's hope they don't do the same type of rework to your favorite job.
