I don't think you're engaging with the opposing viewpoint honestly here.

Why not? This is the principle of equal access to all possible classes for all. With equal efficiency. Principle brought to perfection. After all, the purpose of announced innovations in this. No?

I think that a system like this was present in pathfinder1e. Every feature having a cost and you could build your race with it. At that point I'd rather play GURPS, I mean, I'd rather always play GURPS rather than 3.x, but the system is there if you like it.

... because it's fun!
