Picto makes the game less fun

Even then Viper does have bursts it's just that reawaken doesn't do absurdly high damage compared to other bursts like PCT. For as brain dead Viper is the one thing I really like about it is that it's not a job with a burst but a job that can burst, reawaken is great because it doesn't break the flow of the job like how MNKs and RPRs do. It reminds me a lot of old SB SAM where your flow just didn't break often.

BLM has no bursts and instead damage priority so it'll never work as a burst job and stuff that can be used as movement tools (Xeno/Triple) have to be used during burst because of how the raid buff meta works. It would have to become Summoner or RDM to work in the current meta as burst job.

BLM does technically have leylines and amplifier, it can burst, it’s just not very good at it compared to almost any other job

But still they can make relatively flat damage profiles like VPR even if they still have a defined burst phase simply by the difference in the damage of the “burst phase”. They also retrofitting this into jobs like WAR

BLM could still work with a flatter profile and tools that work for both burst and movement but it needs to have some level of baseline burst as a baseline which they have really struggled to give to BLM

BLM got changed since ShB to "try to be" burst job which is not working and it will not work unless you homogenize the job with other burst jobs which they are very Homogenized
