Apparently, because most PUGs won't even do it.
I didn't say you're wrong, by the way; on the contrary I think you're probably right. But like you said, you need to thoroughly know wtf you're doing as a melee. Naturally people assume that you don't. PUGs are a gamble, mages are the safer bet compared to melee DD, so people tend to cram their parties full of BLM or cram the party altogether. Thinking outside of the box is great for LSs who can continue to work on their strategy, but for PUGs it's sadly more often just a good way to wipe.
