As with other skills they started changing certain skills changing into a different skill via traits they just need to expand it. Hopefully this happens when they do specializations next expansion.
It's especially nonsensical if you look at the JP names, which use the classic suffixes. Fire, Firaga, and Firaja are single target, Fira is AoE, and then Fira upgrades directly to High Firaja.
