Black Mage gameplay is almost entirely contingent on positioning and movement tools. It's a strategy game, not a mechanical complexity game.
Casters had both. Old Summoner had rotational complexity / high APM before it was reworked in Endwalker. Black Mage had slow APM but very dynamic rotation that changes based on the encounter and what your party members do. RDM sat squarely in the middle of the two.

Casters had both dynamic complexity and rotational complexity. Now they just have dynamic complexity vs what SMN is currently.
