No actually it would cause people to have a MAIN class, and the switching would be alt classes. Right now the way this game is designed, you MAIN everything. If they set it so the ability point would be the same between all classes/jobs, then yes people still could main as a Black mage, but sub as a white mage, they may not be as good as someone who main class is white mage but can do the job.

You can still buy the ability point reset option from you grand company in case you decide you want to main as a white mage instead of black mage.

This will also cause more tanks whether people believe it or not. The reason, if you rolled a Gladiator/Paladin got to level 50, then decided you were bored and wanted to play Archer/Bard, you could now be at level 50, people need a tank to run CT, and you decide you are a Bard tonight and run as that instead.

People would cry and complain if they made that change now, but if that was the way it was at the beginning, people would whine but people would also accept it and we would have people being more specific jobs. We would have more tanks AND people might then roll alts instead to be a different job (even though you could buy the stat reallocation potion), so they would have their Paladin character, and an alt Bard character.
