I suspect it has to do with fear people wouldn't like such a system, though the lack of job design staff certainly remains a factor. It's entirely hearsay on my part but whenever I've seen this brought up on reddit, here or even in various discords I'm apart of. A lot of people dislike the idea of being encouraged to play jobs outside their preferred favourites.
