If anything, it's more evidence that they never planned for BRD to be able to weave their ability animations as it begins (windbite and wide volley specifically, now that they have cast times this is entirely the case), and they still manage to run into the same problem with empyreal arrow since oyu can use an oGCD/instant cast right after it to cancel it's animation. Though it's still a bit weird in BRD's case that they'd still animate the waist-down separately for those abilities when other jobs do it just fine (MCH with clean shot and supressive for example), and again in the case of empyreal it's a post-50 skill.
