Roles for Samurai, Red Mage, Dancer

I mean, despite that being demonstrably untrue as a significant portion of the game's population plays tanks and enjoys them...

YOU may not want to deal with "that crap" or are unable to but thankfully you are not everyone in this community so you should probably stop speaking for everyone.

Wait so you're trying to argue that tanks and healers are more popular in active numbers than DPS? That was the point of the previous statement and you're now stating that it's untrue. Whether or not there's an active following for a role is irrelevant when the point was referring to majority situations. The moment you have a universally greater need for DPS over tanks or heals is the moment the game has done something special that no others have for it.
