I agree that by not having huton up you don't gain nenki faster...that's simple. Monk on the other hand HAS TO SPEND GL to preform a skill which slows monks down to gain GL slower and to add insult to injury less crits for chackra.
I don't get this comparison.

GL is not a resource. Same as Huton.

It's pretty obvious that it's a not a resource because you gain no abilities that "Spend it" when you first unlock it.

Tornado Kick isn't a "Spender" in its design. There was only one period of Monk's lifespan where it could have been classified as such and it was unintentional. Tornado Kick is the consolation prize when dealing with boss jumps that lasted longer than both your stance and GL, but with all the QOL that came in, was never updated to a new purpose.

A better example of a Static Resource would be Polyglot, Aetherflow, and other like systems where it's a flat timer that never changes.
