Is to allow us to use our skills we acquired on all synced duties in the game.
Would it hurt "balance" on those low lvl duties?
Sure it will but does it matter?
Will it make more fun to play older content? Of course it will.
I was pretty disappointed when i realised i could not experience Heavensward content as it supposed to be when it first came out, when people had all their skills and spell available at lvl 60.
The same thing will happen to new players when they will come with this new expansion, they will discover not only heavensward but also stormblood content and find out they will not be able to experience it the same way we did for the last 2 years.
Not only that, but with new expansion coming to us, a big chunk of the content we are doing right now will never be the same since it will be forever synced at lvl 70. With so many spells and skills removed from lvl 70 character it will feel terrible to go through missing a lot of things from the character gameplay, this will be terrible.
It shouldnt be like that, SE should seriously consider allowing us to use all our abilities on synced content, at least in stoormblood content we should be allowed to play with all our kit. It wont hurt anyone if we will be able to use all our skills in synced older content, instead it could bring much more good and could even potentially encourage newbies to play the game for longer to get those "fancy" skills they seen someone using.
One thing i wish SE would give a second thought about

They already did or did you not get the New Game + Memo?

While they can sync by item level instead of level, what they don't have a system for is syncing down the potency of our actions.
Actions increase in potency the higher the level we get them at, so it would become horribly overpowered with each expansion.
They would need a way to sync down the action potencies as well.
For example, say Fast Blade and Riot Blade do 160 and 240 potency in Sastasha. Holy Spirit does 380. That's a huge increase from 200 potency per attack, to nearly 400 potency per attack.
A way to sync it down could be to reduce it as a percentage by the difference between the dungeon level and the action level. Sastasha is L15 and Holy Spirit is L64, the difference is 49, so we could reduce the 380 potency by 49% to 186.
I don't know if it would always work and they probably have other reasons why they can't or don't want to do it. -
