What were the devs thinking?

the jobs listed can kill in FL im pretty sure i dont have to spell out hunting by enemy base or taking out the monk golfers

You list the wrong job that still has possibility to solo kill on the frontline
Monk is the only melee left with possibility to straight up kill once rotation is completed; but it is range/caster only.
None of the jobs you listed can kill solo in Frontline

Harass enemy OP is an effective Lonewolf strategy for Frontline and exists since day one Frontline mode exist.
It is proven in past years that it can be done by any job.
When it is done by a seasoned player, it is possible to keep the target FC end up as 3rd place.

By the way, PLD in 5.1 is not really a tank, it is all around mobile fortress with canon; when played correctly, it solo kills every job.
When works with another seasoned SAM, it is possible for these two job to stale least 2 parties. (verified)
Oh I sure miss 5.1 where I can boost my overall Frontline winning percentage by 6% and I don't need to lost my sanity

i think your reading the wrong statement because i made two one was about jobs that are too dependent the other was about jobs that are more than self sufficient in solo kills regardless of cc or FL, never said PLD was a tank
