It is unintuitive to change the toggle system, and only serves to complicate a system that makes perfect sense.
No, let's change the AP system because it says so specifically in Yoshi-P's letter. While we're changing it, we can consider enhancements such as removing the toggle.

You argue that removing the toggle fixes nothing at all, and is utterly pointless. I'll argue that balancing a system where everything can be AOE'd is impossible. You argue that you use a lot of strategy in your gameplay toggling in and out of AOE. I'll argue that, as a healer, you never turn off AOE because there is utterly no need to. There is no penalty or anything. The only time I ever toggle it off is when I have to debuff mobs, but even then you really don't have to considering most content (leves and behests) are fighting against packs of mobs, and with the long recast times you pretty much have to aoe your debuffs.

So really, what are you trying to say? Clearly we all play differently - and that's good. But that doesn't change that this system is a failed experiment. I want them to change it because of that, not because every other MMO does it. If I wanted to play *insert generic MMO* I'd go play WoW or Rift, not FFXIV.
