Probably because someone at SE figured out that it's nice to be able to efficiently solo things in the open world.
No, someone figured out if they made jobs too rigid in their role. Certain jobs would not be able to solo anything except easy prey. It is one thing not to have a ton of open world content. It is another if you can't solo what little open world content is there.

Who cares what he wants for others? Isn't that the point of an rpg? To put yourself in different roles and make hard choices, and how you progress is due to the good or bad choices you made? If there is no input besides pushing play or choosing an order which it plays, it may as well be a movie.
