Positionals aren't really critical for most jobs except on the hardest content. They mostly give players a way of pushing themselves to excel for harder content while others can ignore them, or choose to practice them for their own self edification. Having jobs that have differing mechanics is how to appeal to a wider audience.
They are not even critical on the hardest content. The number of clears I see in Savage content and Ultimates with mdps not caring about positionals makes such obviously clear.
