Filling gaps is their entire job design philosophy.
So then you're proposing that we get dedicated Water/Wind/Earth/Light/Dark offensive magic all from Geomancer? Because currently those elements all lack an offensive mage. To say nothing of the fact Thunder is kind of weakly represented in Black Mage relative to Fire/Ice. After a certain point you can't realistically expect those roles to be filled. Nor is there any indication they want to fill those roles. They could have had Red Mage do it after all.
