No it doesn't. All this restriction does is make it so you can't be the best of the best of the best sir, on every single job right away. There is nothing stopping you from getting there down the line, but they specifically put this cap in place to GATE THE SPEED AT WHICH PEOPLE WILL ATTAIN ENDGAME GEAR ON THEIR JOBS.

What you're arguing for is just another roundabout way of increasing the speed with which you can acquire gear on multiple jobs. Denying that because it's inconvenient to the point you're trying to convey is just dumb. inb4 another long winded diatribe about how I'm stupid for thinking entitled impatient WoWchildren are wrong.
