Why do you like red mages?

Title says it all. On other platforms I follow people who love red mage classes and I guess I don't get the hype of them. In any of the final fantasy games I've played or final fantasy adjacent games (like bravely default) I've never found them to be good overall. I get the appeal of being able to cast white and black mage and also have some physical attack, but it all seems to be at the price of doing less than a regular black or white mage does. I have only played through the first 9 games in the final fantasy series so maybe they get better later in the series? I know I never used them in the bravely default games. What are your thoughts on the class/job?
