Except it isn't a choice in PvP. You cannot opt out of having your combos chained, which has been a major complaint because a lot of players dislike it. I don't want half the jobs to essentially become spamming a single button in between oGCD weaves. Dragoon, for example, is already practically barren with how few skills it now has. Reducing that even further would just make the job feel boring. Yoshida said the only reason they have combo consolidation in PvP is due to the dynamic nature of attacking other players. Having a ton of buttons may be too cumbersome to manage in an unscripted environment. Ironically, the lack of skills as been arguably the biggest complaint regarding PvP.

Maybe it's a translation thing and the original Japanese says or implies something different, but SE is constantly making excuces that sound like complete BS. (no portable orchestiron because they can't change field music onthe fly, despite mounts doing it all the time, etc.)
That wasn't their excuse. While I disagree with it, they didn't want to make a "portable orchestrion" was partly because they prefer each zone to have its own unique music. The other reason is technical limitations. Mounts have a pre-determined song that cannot be changed. A portable orchestrion necessities coding because players will interact with it. This is why we still can't have the Glamour Dresser in our houses.
