Square obviously not listening to feedback

Put another way, you're looking at the wrong thing: you say that reworked SMN isn't fun for you, but it in fact best satisfies your needs to have fun with your FC, which is why you picked it over the other two casters. The fun is "filling the caster role to raid with your FC," and reworked SMN is the best way for you to do that.

This is like saying, "The fun is, 'not getting shot by an execution squad while standing in the yard of a maximum security prison.'".

I looked at my options, and chose the best one available. The fact that the best one available to me is 100% lackluster and lacking is still something that ought to be fixed.
