Same, I know more buttons doesn't necessarily equal more complexity and depth, but having abundance of buttons to map and use is why I prefer combat in this game over the other major MMOs (WoW/GW2/ESO/BDO). I want to have many buttons so I can get creative with keybindings and UI. Having long rotations and more CD abilities to optimize also adds a different kind of difficulty than in those other major MMOs, which may very well have more difficult classes overall but are imo more dependent on muscle memory and reflex for optimization. It's a different type of difficulty.

Generally I find it more difficult to zone out and relax with FFXIV dps rotations as a certain degree of focus is usually required to keep all those buttons and long rotations in play (which I prefer). While in those other games after you've mastered a class you may go on autopilot and still perform decent enough.
