They did, and they still do add new weapons to a certain selection of older fights, but RDM and SAM got a better deal on a couple of fronts: they got weapons added to trials, which got dropped after that (newer jobs get dungeons and select raids), and they start at level 50 so there were no lower levels for them to miss out on.

Most likely they've stopped doing so many weapons per job because the overall number of weapons needed per fight keeps going up.

This isn't anything new either. Have a look at level 50 dungeon gear and then Heavensward crafted gear, or the Arboretum and Xelphatol dungeon gear a couple of patches apart, or for that matter ARR recycling the same few gear models for fifty levels.
