For example:
Bronze Cuirass
Level 15
GLD, MRD, PLD, WAR, DRK <- No Dragoon/Lancer here due to it being 'Plate' armor.

For further example, take a look at the jobs that can use leather-based armors

Plundered Jacket
Level 17
Disciples of War (NIN/MNK/DRG/BRD/MCH/WAR/DRK/PLD) <- [b]there are no CLoth users in this catagory, no casters.

By your logic, all of the "Disciple of War" classes should look the same, which is a horrible logic.

The gear should be (And has always been):

[Plate] : Tanks
[Chain] : DRG (And any new jobs they release)
[Leather - Ranged] : BRD/MCH
[Leather - Melee] : MNK/NIN
