idc if it has little or a lot, because context will always matter. having a few buttons with extremely easy to do rotation on a low GCD isnt comparable to a slower GCD with a much more complex rotation with extra multitasking on top. (for the jobs/classes/expansions in question)
WoW and FF14 are pretty darn different, so I find it silly when ppl use the opposite to compare to eachother. WoW requires more reaction time, and less multitasking. They are both a different kind of challenge, and yes, some ppl will be better at one over the other. (In turn, that leads them to argue one is easier or harder) (One woman I know did raids in wow, and pvp, and was far better than myself. But she cant even play something as simple as RDM in EX/Savage. Shes better at reaction time, and not so much multitasking)
there is a reason why we have 2.5s GCD.. it is how they structure the game servers.. I mean Yoshi love action games look at FF16 a full action FF game.

Personally I don't mind slow play 2.5 s and give more room for planning, preparing and more untraditional job designs that I would love to see in the future
