I think it's so that for content all options are viable.
If my memory isn't betraying me, back when there was a more defining line between Pure Heal and Shield Healers groups wanted specific jobs for content.
I think that it's so that none will be left out for content simply because of what job they like to play.
Same thing can be said about tanks and how they are getting more and more the same to one another.
One can look at other games how endgame Meta can be a make it or break or for certain jobs/classes depending on how they perform.
So if none of them sticks out (too much) from the others less chance for that to happen.
This is what I believe is happening and has been happening for a long time.
So sadly I don't expect us to see more job personality regarding playstyles for quite some time.
Even is FFXIV sais that in 8.0 we'll see more of it.
