From my observations standard step is being deleted to make way for a simplified 1 button standard step,

The job action trailer does not necessarily indicate this. It doesn't show every single action available to each job. For example, SMN SCH and WHM don't show any aetherflow or lily spenders, RDM doesn't show all possible elemental spells, and SAM doesn't show any weaponskills except the ones that terminate combos.

Standard Step could still exist, with the new blue quick step action serving just to refresh the Finish and Esprit timers during downtime so that Standard Step still benefits from the damage bonus next time you use it.

I'm not sure, I don't think that's likely because the new action applies the same buff as standard step and keeping up standard step is pretty much never an issue you'll run into unless you don't know the very basics of the job. It would be an unnecessary extra button if both it and standard step existed together unless they totally change how it works.
