The majority of stress that forms carpal tunnel and the like doesn't actually come from softly pressing a button X number of times with one's thumb or the like, but rather from the turning of the wrist or stretching of the hand, etc., in repositioning from one button to another, especially when doing so in a rush.

Personally, I probably wouldn't use the feature, as moving through the keys helps me keep track of timing and makes me less prone to mistakes. After my hands have cycled through keys A, B, C, and D some number of times, I'll know it's time to Hagakure and, soon after that, Tsubame-Gaeshi.

But I see little to no reason to deny others the option if they feel it'd help them.

What little reason exists is based solely in slippery slopes: "If we let them consolidate our combo skills, they'll design arounds that fact and give us even more bloat oGCDs to make up for it!" All I can offer to that argument is, well, maybe, but likely not. That they've already bloated our "combos", by nature of their being XIV-style "combos", certainly hasn't prevented them from giving plenty of oGCD (or, say, in Monk's case, even GCD) bloat.
