Any new skills that get added until now and XIV shutdown.

Any movement required besides up and down is jumping around regardless of how smart you place skills.
Economy of motion.
If your finger has to travel 1 inch to the right, that is slower than staying still, 2 inches slower, 3 inches slower.

Why is WASD the defacto standard and not WLFV?
Economy of motion.
A standard keyboard could have 40 numbers keys from left to right.
Why are there only 10 number keys and a plus minus?
Economy of motion.
Why do single keyboard keys have multiple functions versus one each?
Economy of motion.

A forward thinking developer sees things ahead of time and plans accordingly rather than just waiting until something breaks and then tries to rush and get it fixed. Just because bloat is no issue now for some, does not mean it never will.

....Why are we using economy of motion as an excuse for people who just can't map out their hotbars on certain classes properly...and I say certain classes because not all classes suffer like PLD, DRG, and NIN do.

The principles of motion economy are a set of rules and suggestions to improve the manual work in manufacturing and reduce fatigue and unnecessary movements by the worker, which can lead to the reduction of work related trauma. Last I checked, XIV isn't a manufacturing job and if you find playing the game that tedious and fatigue inducing on your fingers and body while you're sitting your butt in a comfy chair, then perhaps you should stop playing the game for long periods of time without taking breaks.

This is a lot of fluffy words that don't go anywhere because economy of motion has nothing to do with someone sitting at home, on their butt, and playing a video game. That is the complete opposite of maximizing a worker's movement and motion performance at their labor intensive job so they can work better, faster, and longer while avoiding fatigue quicker. Economy of motion is more relevant towards martial artists, guitar players, etc....things that actually require you to adjust your body movements accordingly, and playing an MMO is not one of them.

If you're treating XIV like a job or chore, instead of a hobby....then, I think you have other problems with the game entirely than just them not implementing PvP consolidation into PvE.
