The only thing autoattack does is give more time to talk with your teamates and to think and trigger skills without downtime caused by moving through your skills.
Or even better, where did you pay more attention during battles? In XI with its autoattack or in XIV with its consistant mashing?
Answer: XI.
And well, the player involvement required in skillchains being a lot higher than BR isn't even up for argument.
edit // PS:
Also, if it didn't work the way it did, you'd have more time to trigger buffs off or harness more TP for 2k+ tp skills. You also wouldn't be risking having your buffs wear off due to someone else. You'd be a lot more in control.
Do you like the effects of BRs? I said nothing against them. You could easily keep those without giving away all the control you have over whats being done.
The roles are reversed here: BRs basically make the system play for you, while you do what the system should be doing. Mashing one over and over.
