Crafting is in much greater need of exclusivity because of the way it's structured and what role it serves within the game. If you don't want to invest as much effort into crafting, you need to not be able to get as much out of it, or the whole thing will become worthless.
With this in mind, would you be in favor of removing omnicrafting? This much greater need of exclusivity cuts both ways, not just between those who do and do not want to craft, but also in the matter that there's very little required interdependence of people within crafting and gathering itself.
