Is there an unneeded hostility towards regular classes in this game?

WHAT UTILITY???

I'm honestly lost, it's already been made clear that Blood for Blood and Internal release don't even remotely close the DMG gap. You think that adding Stoneskin, Protect, Foresight, Convalescense and Awareness would somehow made SMN "god-tier"? Not once, in any fight, have I ever found myself saying I wish I had any of these cross class skills.

What content are you doing where you are running around casting protect and stone skin on the party, or tanking something that requires you to need Foresight, Convalescense and Awareness??

Perhaps I should have made it crystal clear what I was meaning. You could say all Jobs have great utility because if one is designated as a Healer, it will be great for healing. Et cetera with the other Jobs and Roles. Otherwise;
Utility: Utility is usefulness, the ability of something to satisfy needs or wants.
Versatility: capable of or adapted for turning easily from one to another of various tasks, fields of endeavor.

ACN has great utility and diversity because of what Cross Class abilities are available to it, and every other regular class. Therefore, Classes will have better Versatility than Jobs.
That said, I'm not saying I go around joining every party mid-session in low level dungeons or otherwise hoping that my DPS with role diversity can jump in and save the day with a Swiftcast Raise, then Protect and Stoneskin, then otherwise, just because I can. I have access to those actions and if need be and the situation presents itself, I can do those things. That's it.
