But the more abilities you requires to run your character the more generalist (and complex) it becomes, considering you only have 27 points to allocate. For Ranger class that would be Dex + Wis + Int (?), well if you run with 3 abilities, then the other 3 will suffer. Or your character becomes average.

Rangers actually need more CON but I digress.
The point of skills is not that you should be the best. It’s to provide some flexibility. Rangers aren’t known for high INT but that doesn’t mean they should all be dumb and uneducated.
The backgrounds are just saying these types of rangers have some training in this field. They may not be the best students of the field but they received some exposure hence the proficiency bonus.
Remember Nature would be considered a key ranger skill but it’s a INT check. Not all skills need to be under DEX and WIS.
