Why isn't RDM's Riposte combo tied to one button?

Many classes have this problem. Paladins, MCH, DRK, GNB ect all have a 1-2-3 combo that doesn't split or do anything interesting. If you queue for PvP you may very well find you have a single button that does the entire combo. They have gone so far as to have the NPC scions with you that you take control of in various story dungeons also have this mythic one button combo *Glares at Thancred*

It is a mystery why they do not give them to us, especially after they wanted to remove "button bloat" by removing many fun abilities while retaining pointless multibutton combos.

It's not a mystery: Yoshida said himself he think pressing the same button 3 times for a combo is boring. The reason they are chained in PVP and RP-instances is because someone convinced him the added complexity was detrimental to the content.

Personally, I think it's super dumb: different keybinds for one combo is just button bloat. They wouldn't have to take so many skills out if they'd consolidate more combo: we already see a variation of that idea with upgraded moves.
