And SMN has Ruin 2 always available as their mobility tool if needed with a relatively low dps loss so they don't really need an actual movement ability imo. I don't think I would want to use it during Bahamut anyway which is when they don't have mobility because even small amounts of movement mess him up. I can't imagine the mess that teleporting across the battlefield would make of him.
Except rdm movement is on boss, which has a bad habit of not necessarily be a safe zone on every mechanic.

A mate (that is not a monkey) usually is. Aetherial on only a 10 second CD is quite strong, one of the strongest "personal" utility if you ask me.

As you said every mobility comes at a dps cost though.
