Shadowbringer has really highlighted this because I cannot recall a period where so many jobs have been hit or miss.
What you are describing is intentional, I don't think it's so much a lack of fresh ideas as much as deliberately simplifying all jobs and making all jobs within the roles function in a similar manner.
I suppose they are going for accessibility and job balance, but it certainly is making combat less engaging in my opinion.
