It's all about specialization, It's no different than talent trees and skill paths in any other RPG or MMO, the only difference being you create alts rather than use a single avatar.

Ofc I know my opinion is unpopular so I won't waste my breath going into more detail, but I feel the limit does need an increase but not a removal.
My response is more directed to SE but you do have a good point:

This is a competently valid argument and I understand the reasoning - but the big issue I take with it is why do we not see this restriction also carried through to the Walk of Echo Weapon skills or the Mythic Weapon skills where no such limitation exists? The limitation there is your ability to farm (or buy) or do the related ws trial (for mythic ws). How is that any different than earning merit points. Are the merit weapon skill so much more over powered compared to WoE or Mythic that they require restriction?
