What's that? You have small hands and would prefer a smaller number of core rotation skills so you can get them all under your hand along with the WASD?

What's that? You wanted to reserve hotbar slots for some macros so you can shot-call for a pick-up group without using voice comms?

You're not getting that, keep these 20 glorified auto-attacks on cooldown instead.
Using the CTRL and ALT bars, that's 30 skills. Then, if you have a number pad, like I do, you can assign a bar to that. That's 40 abilities. My keyboard also has additional shortcut buttons on the left side which I have for my greetings Macros. I have my main 30 for combat related stuff and the number pad for emotes, target indicators, etc. I also use a Razor Naga 12 Number button mouse so I can usually reach all skills without every actually moving my hands off WASD
