I'm not sure I buy this logic.
1. The Unique tag makes sense for certain pieces of gear.
2. However, I have found some gear for which it does not make sense.
3. Therefore, I say it makes no sense for any gear!

I don't know if you raid or not, but if a piece of top-of-the-line gear that you've been waiting for forever drops, and another player wins it - not because they need it for the stats, but because they want to be able to glamour a second job - I'd say you have justifiable cause to be salty.

No, let's stay away from solutions that increase competition for items that are already extremely limited in the number doled out per week, even if there happen to be common items under the same umbrella.
