Besides the cap Summoner reached, people always complained that XIV's Summoner wasn't a "true/real" Summoner, which isn't even a thing. Now XIV's iteration is closer to that idea and people still aren't happy.

Also, does the OP know that the classes are just pre-versions of the jobs.
I believe the OP is aware of that fact, but they also stated that jobs now have no longer needed such a restriction since HW. I'm assuming they want SMN to be separated from the base root of ACN due to the discrepancy of lore and play not blending between the two, if I read the first post correctly.
