The are other reason for having multiple different type of jobs that use different weapon and gameplay styles.

1) People seek to play a Job they feel suits them more.

2) RPing reasons.

3) Players seek to use a Job that fit into their requirements.

4) gameplay style may be better adjust to them than other Jobs thus they play better as that Job.

and etc.

For me a Sword User DPS Job has been what I've been looking to play since FF14 started.
