For some people, it won't be satisfying enough at early levels, but others need this slow transition from a bare ARR rotation to what we have at level 80.

From a game development perspective, I think that when we sync down to level 70, 60 or 50, we are doing the SB, HW or ARR rotation respectively and that content was designed and balanced around the type of actions available in that expansion. Even when adding new jobs, there seem to be actions that are intentionally not added at the lower levels because other jobs don't have them at those levels and it would imbalance certain content.
Some jobs have changed more substantially than others. PLD for exmaple used to only have circle of scorn for aoe damage and flash for aoe enmity but no damage. THen they added total eclipse and gave pld a spammable aoe button. And in SHB gave us total eclipse at a much lower level and then a second combo for aoe for example.

Some jobs have changed a lot more than others over the years. And it wouldn't hurt things to say, make sure everyone has some basic aoe around level 20 for dungeons. They wouldn't have to do everything from the ground up.
