Nobody wants their dps to be hamstrung by utility they won't even use during clean runs.
Having Phoenix Downs be an actual relevant item in the game would be a very Final Fantasy thing too. I guess you could have people fighting over who's going to use theirs, but it needn't be consumable even, really.
