Because of faster multitasking purposes really; for instance, Blue Mages make the second Resistance weapon step far less tedious, said step requiring 60 completed Heavensward fates per job. So if you still need to level up Blue Mage, then you may as well work on steps like that as well; you'll level up more slowly, sure, but you'll still be getting that step done way more quickly, so it's a good form of multitasking.

Blue Mages also made the Yo-kai Watch steps less tedious and more fun as well; anyone else is welcome to play as a Blue Mage during those periods too.
