I don't see how this is a bad thing. If Initiative wasn't important then you'd only stack Strength, Finesse and Intelligence with the occasional Memory for skills. It gives Wits a purpose.
It's literally its only purpose, though - extra crit change is negligible. I'd much rather stack in those other skills, at least they make my guys stronger and beefier and deal more damage. I never find a moment to put points in Wits tbh.
