Because positionals add a 3rd dimension to melee combat, and is a great hybrid between action combat and tab-target fighting.
Because standing at the back of a mob pressing buttons on a boss and only moving for aoe is dumb when you actually have such a interesting mechanic.

Also, because I think it actually suits NIN more than any other Job.
NIN should be precise about it's attacks and movements. I can justify attacking from the flank because a ninja attacking from multiple angles is iconic.
And most importantly, why should the class with a passive movement buff be the one that sits in one place the most?
I'm fine with there being a class with no positionals for variety, but I don't think that class should ever have been NIN.
It's the fastest moving job in the game and it's the melee that stands still the most.

That's why I think positionals are a good idea.
But I don't expect everyone to agree with me.
Mudra lag only really bothers me when it's the 3-Mudra cast. Which they reduced since we won't have to re-cast Fuuton.
Suiton once a minute isn't that bad.
