RDM is a perfect fit as tank, simply due to the way they've always been designed. The RDM has always been incredibly open ended design wise, so saying it can't be a tank because "reasons" is really silly.
Which is what most people say. People think that a "healer+DPS" would work in this game, when it won't. Hybrids don't exist in FFXIV.

However, you can make classes fit in the game by designing them with roles in mind.

To make it a DPS would step on a lot of peoples toes and be too similar to what we have already.
To make it a Healer would "greatly" step on a lot of peoples toes and be too similar to what we have already.

Making it a caster tank however? No other tank is like that, it steps on nobodies toes and would be unique.
