How is having to travel the whole horizontal bar (in the worst case 10 key presses) to execute one single skill be easier than having (again, in the worst case) 3 key presses to do exactly the same thing?

Exactly. You had to actually cancel out of navigating the skill bar, pick your target, then navigate to the skill again. It's insane anyone would actually want to have that hassle back.
