It is a bit. Some of the other jobs have hardships with that too. Dragoons are basically Ishgard-licensed dragon killers and the player is the first person to not have the "you're fighting for Ishgard" requirement.
You literally absorb all the powerful aether as a monk.
Summoners happend to "get lucky" with finding their soulstones. And because killing a primal is nigh impossible without Hydaelyn's Blessing (so you don't get tempered/die), their chances of being around when a primal dies is pretty rare. (Doable, but let's say under the 1%).
The scholar quest has you find -one particular Scholar of Nym-'s soulstone. And his fairy.
The player is the -only- non-Padjal White Mage.
The player is the -first- Black Mage since they were all killed off.
...the list could go on for mostly everything but BRD, PLD and WAR, which have NPCs who actively will teach anyone who wants to learn. The other jobs all pull that "you are the super special main character" thing. Some are slightly easier to bend to be "lore-friendly", like finding a SMN or SCH stone. Or being trained as a Paladin, Bard or Warrior. White and Black magic are described as incredibly rare because of their implications and ability to basically destroy the world.

It doesn't make much sense in an IC facility, but that's what we get for meta-items for happy players. It's not less insane than say....getting primal weapons. Average person A would never be able to do that!On that last one if you really want to be technical, they're all 3-star crafts.
The demimateria would be a pain to get but yes.
Those demimateria come from weapons that somehow magically appear when a primal is killed. Assuming a primal is summoned no more than 3 times (NM, HM and EM), and the HM is the -only- one that drops demimateria-able weapons (because they're only Ifrit, Garuda, Titan and Mog iirc?), it's basically impossible. BUT THEY'RE PRETTY. AND PLAYERS WOULD WANT THEM
