And Eldritch Knight has War Magic, which does not quite do the same thing, but still makes casting Booming Blade almost always better than the Attack action from levels 7-11 (it’s not generally a BA heavy subclass, but occasionally you’ll want to use something like Second Wind.) Even after level 11, the bonus damage puts the DPR higher than 3-4 attacks, so the choice is between more damage upfront vs. movement deterrent with a higher damage punishment.
