I agree that tanks/healers could use more options, but this particular argument is just bad strawman, and you shouldn't use it because you don't need it to further your argument. At the very least, it would be more applicable if scholar has a different limit break effect than white mage or astrologian, wear different gears, and/or has different role actions. Otherwise, if everyone uses this type of argument, then a dark knight could ignore paladin/warrior and a black mage could ignore summoner/red mage. On DPS, you have three limit break effects, 3 different sets of role actions, and up to 5 different types of gears (at least for left side). Clearly the game provides some differentiation among DPS outside of individual jobs, so it's not equivalent to your scholar argument, which is only unique in the job level.

(And now that I've said that, it would be interesting to have different role actions/gears/limit break effects for healers/tanks, probably won't get me to work on healer, but still cool to see.)
