What you've said isn't at all opposed to what the discontent voices on this forum have been saying for years though. Virtually nobody is asking for all jobs to be made galaxy brain difficulty and the game to become an inaccessible, hardcore mmo.

What most people who are unhappy about the job design direction tend to complain about, is how in the past we've had that diversity of playstyles and complexity levels to pick from and both have been gradually removed in favor of making every single job "the simple one" - be it via watering down and trimming of existing job mechanics or just downright reworks into something that doesn't resemble its old gameplay in the slightest. We used to have different jobs that catered to different players. Now it seems the goal is to make all jobs popular, but with only one type of player. That type might be the most common, but this direction is still leaving the many "minorities" that don't belong to it with nothing to play.

There is no problem with simple jobs, burst jobs, linear jobs - there is a problem when that is all there is though, especially when there used to be other options, they were just taken away. Having your favorite job not just totally changed, but then also nerfed with that change given as the reason, is just an extra slap in the face I imagine.
