Yes it was a draw back "aww I have to skill up today" but it also gave you something to do. A goal to max out every skill or just every skill your job can use. It also makes that last "weapon skill" obtained that much more rewarding but that is just my thoughts =3
Skilling up different weapons to use was something that was ok to do outside of leveling or any other major activities, but when it comes down to it most jobs were only truly proficient in a couple weapons and you would be expected to use one of those in any content that actually mattered. It's not as if you could pick any weapon at will and join a major fight with it.

This is pretty irrelevant for FFXIV anyway since each class and job are restricted to one weapon.
