Should Level Sync better not remove skills?

It's too much of a hassle and a nightmare to balance when their current system works flawlessly for the purpose they want it to achieve in a massively tiny fraction of the effort, that also doubles as not needing to be changed expansion after expansion, whereas any formulas, scalings, etc would have to be adjusted any. single. time there's a change to any potency on any job, or radical toolkit changes each expansion.

While I agree 100% with literally everything else in your statement -- likely no surprise given my own earlier posts in this thread, or my perennial threats to make an illustrated PowerPoint deck with All the Math which I can just drop in these threads when they come up -- I would disagree that the system works flawlessly.

While syncing skills works fine, syncing gear demonstrably does not; the ilevel sync in this game is extremely wonky, and that I feel could really, really use some fine-tuning.
