The AoE toggle button is already shared by the Emote/Target Marker List as well as the BR button on a gamepad, so it isn't "wasting space".

XI was the only game to my knowledge that used -GA spells to be the only AoEs and leave everything else to single target. Most other FFs, you could "AoE" with near any spell.

Only DoM's can AoE spells. Others can't. You'll notice that when preparing to cast a buff, heal or for whatever reason, an offensive magic spell as a GLA, LNC, PGL, etc will result in the AoE toggle image not showing up and of course, not AoEing.
