Well shucks, which MCH mains does Square-Enix cater to then when it comes to changing the job? Because somebody is SOL no matter what they do.
People want that because there's no way to balance MCH in the Phys Ranged group without overhauling it as a whole.

If you leave MCH as a selfish dps trying to do some semblance of rDPS parity with BRD and DNC, both of them will still blow MCH out of the water because how better stats (and good players) scale with the buffing support.

If you buff MCH's selfish dps to be on par with the upper tier of rDPS rankings (above Ninja), then suddenly BRD and DNC are severely outclassed in the Phys Ranged slot.

For the latter option to work they need to actually overhaul the role/slots that the aiming jobs have in PVE, which honestly it would be for the better. I think it's the most problematic role atm (with healers), if it was not for that % party composition buff, I bet we wouldn't see a lot of BRD/DNC/MCHs on static groups.
