They did it for Casual Timmy who they perceive wasn't playing Dragoon because it was too "busy". In fact, there was a thread over on the JP forums complaining the changes prior to 7.1 weren't enough. Hence why we got this watered down "update."

If making it easier for parsers was their goal, they'd have killed off the two minute meta years ago. That, and the high potency "finishers" they keep tacking on are far bigger sources of friction for a parse than TCJ or oGCD ever were. Didn't crit Double Down and Lionheart in your pot window? Might as well run to the wall, you're not getting 99 no matter what you do.
The problem here is that casual Timmy will be bad regardless of how easy you make the jobs because he doesn't engage with battle content or care about how he's performing. Why tf would you design your battle content to cater to people who don't care about it?
