It's meant as side content to have fun messing around with something that's otherwise ridiculously OP. If they were to make BLU into a "normal" job, they'd need to nerf it so hard it would lose everything that makes it fun for the people who enjoy it. Some people like Gold Saucer events. Some people like doing FATEs to unlock the highest rewards in each zone. Some people like finding all the Sightseeing Log spots. Some people like BLU. It's never, ever been presented as meant to be a "normal" job, and it's precisely the "limited" nature of it that allows them to go nuts with it and give it a kit with far more power than anything else.
