I doubt anyone is expecting perfect balance. In fact, there's been more and more people asking for fun jobs over perfect balance.

What most people want is just for their job to be viable, it's only a very fringe group that wants their preferred job to be meta all the time.

As for why they didn't just ask people to play a different job or wait for gear? It's because they're trying to craft an image of every job being viable, so instead of going through all 19 jobs at the time to rebalance them and make sure every comp can clear the fight, it's far easier to just nerf the HP of the fight.
