Because in high levels of play, RDM is not wanted because: 1) It doesn't push out as much DPS as BLM/SMN/SAM 2) It doesn't have strong utility like BRD/DRG/NIN (Except during progression where Verraise is useful)

Ergo, people would like changes to bring in either DPS that can be competitive with other pure damage jobs (Since healing is very niche utility that RDM is essentially just pure damage with Embolden...) or to have utility that makes them more desirable.

That, and you know... New expansion means new spells/traits. Everyone wants new cool shiny things to play with, even if really, all that might be necessary is getting like an extra level of some spells... Like maybe Verthunder II and Veraero II simply being slight potency boosts over rank I versions... It's less fun than getting entirely new spells to play with.
