It's not to "justify being bad", nor asking for a removal of CDs. You are using outliers as a generality here.
Some people don't like the mechanic. And not having a single melee DPS job without positionals is disappointing. That's all.
If you don't like something a class does, maybe it's just not for you?

My girlfriend doesn't enjoy monk at all. And no, it's not because it's the positionals, but because it doesn't do combo lines the way other melee's do (You know, how other melee's do 1 2 3, but monk can 1 4 3, or 1 2 5?) She didn't like it. It kept throwing her off and she didn't enjoy it.

Did she ask to change monk so that it plays like the other melee? No, she just doesn't play monk. She does like DRG and SAM though.

I got another example, being myself. I didn't like BRD all that much. Did I ask for Square to change BRD? No, I just didn't play BRD. Changing a job (or in this case, all the melee) because some don't like it, isn't a good idea. I actually know players that enjoyed monk in particular simply BECAUSE of how many positionals it had. It let them keep moving and focused, and rewarded them for performing the dance correctly.

If people want a melee with no positionals that badly, Square can make one. Do not remove them for others.

It's logical to appeal to your playerbase.
Also just focusing on this part real quick. Yes, appeal to your playerbase. That doesn't mean baby them. And I'm glad in at least some departments they stood on the ground of "Don't baby". Shinryu story's an example. All the crying and complaining about how unfair and difficult it was, threatening to quit. Square never nerfed it though, because as it turned out, when people are 4 manning the 8 man trial they probably just need to pay attention.
