The posts before mine have largely answered your question, but another thing to consider is that RDM is supposed to juggle white and black magic, so white magic stays relevant to its kit through to level cap.

Where as they decided the mages that start from 1 (Black Mage and Summoner) need a little sustainability help in the early levels before they really get their feet under them. BLM, like WHM, can equip shields. And SMN borrows a healing spell from its twin SCH.
