Not like you're going to need 3 magic aoe dps on most maps anyway.
And the reason some people (myself included) might want to include a bishop in a team is noel. Her aw passive has good utility and its not like the DPS will take such a huge hit between having another plat mage (let's say odette) and having Noel. Obviously , it's going to be lower overall , but most of the times its not that important , while her aw passive will matter everytime (even in commision sorties)
