It's not that they gave us an "alternative" to Scatter Spam, they completely rewrote the rotation so there is no "Spam".

If this question is directed at me, what I'm saying is we already have an AoE skill to build up to, and while it is weaker than the example skills you listed, the bigger concern is it's weaker than the skills you use to build it.
At the going rate you're going to hit Impact (220 potency) 3 times before you get off one Moulinet, and Moulinet's only 200 potency for its cost, with its only saving grace being a lower GCD... with other melee skills.

As far as having our own "nuke", Contre Sixte already covers that role.

Its bad enough that some BLM seem to want a raise, because reasons.
The BLMs you're quoting have concerns that their lack of utility makes them undesirable compared to SMNs, who have comparable damage and greater mobility to boot. Lack of utility also means their group contribution scales exactly with their personal DPS, which can suffer under the effects of Weakness/Brink of Death or some boss mechanics.

Most of those people would likely be just as satisfied with any unique group buff, boss debuff, or ally tool in the BLM kit, Raise is just seen as the most direct way to level the playing field with other casters (which would likely make BLM instantly superior to SMN). Personally I favor putting a Vulnerability Up curse on the boss, or increasing the size of Ley Lines and extending its effects to the party.
