Because many of those RDMs don't understand the concept of being a support job, heck they don't even understand the concept of being a RDM in this game.
A Red Mage's strength resides in weakening their enemy with their enfeebling spells while making themselves stronger using enhancing magic.
In a party your job as a RDM is to weaken the mob so it can't fight at full power while supporting your party with Cures and other spells like Protect. After lvl 41 you also gain the ability to support magic users (Refresh), and then at 48 you get the ability to support melee/magic players in your party (Haste).
All of this sadly is too much work for a player that just wants to whack away and solo everything in the game because they heard how RDM is the best soloer in the game.
(Although then reality hits them in the face when they see the crappy dmg RDM has
