    I think SE is keeping it around also due to inadvertently making it also a 'signature ability' of PLD in promotional materials (namely, Derplander's roegadyn PLD friend Shield Bashes a Garlean soldier in the End of an Era/New Beginning trailer, and Derplander himself uses Shield Bash against a blasphemy in the EW opening), so it's clear SE themselves feel this ability has some 'connection' to the Job, regardless of how players may feel.

    Funnily enough I find myself using Low Blow more nowadays, it's much faster and also I kind of got into a bad habit of not using Shield Bash due to it consuming so much TP in the old days (before TP was removed), so old habits die hard. I'll still make use of it though as a 'back up' Stun if Low Blow is still cooling down and I need to Stun something again quickly, so it definetely still does have an important part to play in a PLD's arsenal.
