I think the 90% is on skill lv 1. So his spammability is pretty good, especially if you add a CE. I think he's considerably better than Bathory. Not amazing by any means but being able to chain fire relatively easily makes him better imo. His NP being arts also allows for a more comfortable CE in formalcraft than whatever Bathory would have that doesn't help her spam. While he's not great, I think you're cherry picking and being a bit unfair to him as you're focusing on only damage with Bathory and Geronimo. I think his skillset is a bit better than Bathory's and Geronimo's is trash. Ok. So Geronimo hits harder once, possibly (or maybe about the same. Didn't do math on his low attack). He doesn't have the spam capacity that Sieg does. Which of course is basically all Sieg does. Spam his NP and make use of his welfare NP5 status. This makes all your other comparisons a bit off base too as in the damage department, they fall significantly short unless you're assuming that you've rolled a bunch of them. In some of those cases, even then they fall short in damage output.

As far as Sieg's role goes, to me those are mostly rather bad comparisons. He seems to share roles the most with Hokusai, if anyone. She does the job much better but it seemed to me like his job is to NP cycle and stack def downs. The closest in your list I think is Casgil who definitely can do Sieg's job with a wider role. But of course there's the welfare thing so Casgil will be a bit more turtly. Better but slower unless you have him at high NP counts too.

I didn't expect Sieg to be amazing but he has somewhat of a use. So I'm not disappointed by how they handled him from a gameplay standpoint. His stats are a bit low because he's Sieg. His magecraft skill is weak because that's what he has. And the other 2 skills are perfectly fine. One is a solid skill for spam servants while adding on some hp cushion and the other is a charge skill that gives him a very rare niche, namely vs Shuten and MHX. But it does charge so at least it does have a functional use. On the other hand, I'd be annoyed if they made him absurdly good. Having some use is good enough for me.
