Even the song proc mechanics where you just wait for stuff to happen are passive compared to something like Brotherhood where everything you, and your party does is opening chakras. All on top of being a phys ranged with no environmental or positioning considerations for its gameplay unlike the other roles. Passive passive passive. BRD may be considered the "strongest" phys ranged, but it doesn't feel great to play. I suspect a lot of people are only playing it because it's "meta," and not because it's fun.
