Do We Remember That a Game Is Meant to Be Fun?

The devs do know that players are very attached to their jobs which again is why no big changes can or will happen and jobs will be left mostly the way they are now, because even slight changes get huge backlash. The smn rework is one of the biggest risks they ever took and it taught them to not take any risks anymore.

We saw what they learned when they took risks changing BLM in 7.2 or destroying AST's RNG in 7.0. It was hated.

Plus it's not like they care about the backlash either way. Nothing gets reversed once it changes.
