Yes, the 1.x "you are the chosen one" angle is from those job quests.
So, as I mentioned in the other thread, I have every expectation (much like others on this thread) that SE will run with the "new" theme of ARR's main scenario quest, which is that any given PC is but one of many heroes of Hydaelyn. From that, I expect we'll see job quest lines in 2.x that emphasize the history of the Jobs and their revival, and how you're being personally tested to prove your worth to learn those secrets -- not that you're the only person who can, but that you must prove yourself worthy of it. In that case, you're again but one of many heroes with the strength and conviction to wield such powers.
So, in terms of rarity, adventurers are a subset of all Eorzeans. Those with the Echo are subset of adventurers. PCs are a subset of those with the Echo. PCs with access to Jobs are a subset of all PCs. They're rare, yes, but only in the context of Eorzea as a whole. Since we can't see all of Eorzea due to limitations of the game, it's safe to assume that even if every PC fell into the subset of Job users, they'd still be a small percentage of the Eorzean population, which fits with lore.
In short, I expect that in 2.x, you can RP that you have a Job and got it through the Job quest line and not be stomping all over the rarity of Jobs or other people's stories.
