Which is a fair and good explanation why these jobs are changed the way they are.
SE is tuning the game so that everyone can enjoy this, and not just a select few.
And from a long-term perspective, this makes way more sense than catering to a niche group of players.
What square is doing is making the skill ceiling accessible to people who don’t want to try, that’s a totally different thing

People shouldn’t be excluded from jobs but you shouldn’t hit the skill ceiling 0.00000002 seconds after you reach the skill floor and that’s basically what modern 14 job design is

There needs to be a sense of progression in your understanding and execution of a job as you get better at it or nobody will stick to any of the jobs
