MCH vs other phys ranged at least has one distinction now:

So in short, yes, you're pretty much right - but I don't think SE will ever give MCH raid buffs like that. They're comfortable in their own niche. It's DNC and BRD that are problematic and need distinct identities.

The other thing I wish to note is that it's not that SE doesn't have the resources to do mid-patch balancing. They actively choose not to. This is also something that dates back to heavensward when statics would get upset at having chosen a comp, but then feel they would have to change in the middle of a raid patch. (Yeah, also sucks for WHMs that predicted the EW changes would dumpster them... then got dumpstered... and now are locked into dumpster mode till 6.1 at the earliest)
