Because it's the content that should be adapted to tanks, not the other way around.

PLD players want to keep the feeling that their job's survivability is relevant. It's one of the main reason why they picked that job to begin with.
Having the meta to be focused on tank DPS instead of survivability is in itself a way to kill the job. Now if you say that the only possible place for PLD is OT, then you make half their skills completly useless.

So, not only they loose that feeling of behing relevant because of their "tankyness", but they have no upside at being OT either... they're merely "okay" at best in the OT position.


Oh and, a lot of end game content don't have MT/OT. You either have to switch anyway or there is simply two bosses, so the argument is moot for these fights.
