But the mere fact that you have to obtain those spells (and I think some abilities that are not directly tied to the weapon; ie: WSs) give yet another sense of achievement, making you feel more proud to have your character, and that you didn't just grind/PL to 50 with little to no merit.

So... sort of like how they're implementing Job quests that you have to complete before getting access to the bigger and badder spells?
