You're safe now, nobody will make you actually push any buttons you don't want to.

DPS can screw their rotations up any hundred ways and people barely care. Oh they complain about it. They occasionally dress someone down in party chat. But the job design team also doesn't have a burning desire to weave a featherdown safety bubble around DPS princesses who *need* a one button spam job lest their subs evaporate.
Cause you can replace a dps quick. Getting new tanks/healers is not the same. Those jobs need to be as encouraging to everyone as possible because there are too many shoes to fill and not enough warm bodies to fill them.
