I think you're missing the point of what Machinist is supposed to be. You're assuming it's a gunner, when it is more than that. Why are you exactly so bothered with it magically summoning "objects"? Machinist has always been about using different gadgets to fight with.
This is like thinking Paladin is just a swordsman, or Dragoon is just a lancer.
Yeah, the job is called "Machinist". You carry a gun, but that doesn't mean a gun is the only thing a machinist uses. You use various magitek-like machines.
