There is absolutely no good reason to make respecs restrictive or punishing in a single player game that has such a massive variety of character builds.
The overall community should not lose a quality of life feature, or have it detrimentally changed, in order to appease a small subset of the community who lack the self-control to avoid using the feature in ways they consider to be advantageous. That is what we call a "personal problem".
If you don't like it, don't use it. It really is that simple.
