justify giving the bard as much magic as the wizard and cleric. Pretty hard to see.
Nope, you're arguing for the change so your burden to convince anyone it's a good idea.

Justify giving the cleric and druid as much magic as the wizard. There aren't much in the way of fantasy portrayals of them as full casters outside RPGs.
There is no burden of anything. But clearly you don’t want to justify. Wonder if it’s cause you can’t?
Bards are probably the best class in the game. They can be almost anything, and accommodate almost any concept. If that gives them an identity problem, it's a damn good problem to have.
Bit aggressive no?
I've found the bard both playes well and differently enough from other casters; with nice thematic flavor. As such, I don't believe changing anything is either necessary or desired. Why change something that's working?
Yes, Bards are amazing. I do agree they have a problem with identity, but that's a problem born from an abundance of options.So let’s set this straight. The complaint isn’t that bards are mechanically bad. As you note they are mechanically great - arguably the best class in 5e in terms of mechanics.

Merlin is a Bard.In 5e the Bard is as good of a caster as a Wizard or Cleric. But Bards that cast spells like Wizards cast don't feel very Bard-like. They feel more like a Charisma Wizard. That makes for a mechanically strong class but a thematically weak one. Do 5e Bards have the identity they should have?
