What are the points of Gathering/Perception if they don't matter to certain fish catch rates?

Like would be like saying no matter how well you were geared, no matter how well you prepared, Boss X is going to kill you 90% of the time with one attack. But hey, that one time you got through that attack was worth it right? /s

There is nothing wrong with calling out bad gameplay design, and certain aspects of fishing simply aren't fun.

Pretty much this. Even without patience in level 70 ala gear I'm still losing big fish.
