But you’re ignoring all evidence to the contrary. To this day all of the Jobs in each role are different from each other, as you even admitted. YoshiP himself has even gone on record to say that he was considering SAM for Heavensward but decided not to because he didn’t want multiple Eastern themed Jobs back to back. SAM and NIN have different Job Fantasies, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was also the reason why they didn't go with Onmyoji. Job aesthetics and core themes are clearly something they take very seriously. There is little to no reason why they would include a second druid-style healer who’s whole identity is their reliance on nature elementals that uses the same 3 elements another Job in the same category already uses.

Nobody here is saying that they’re “literally” the same Job. What we’re saying is that they have too much in common to warrant putting them in the same role, so they should be a caster instead otherwise it’d be wasted potential.
