No. Hey, you asked.But it does function well?
So? It applies to all D&D that some players play.After all, Core + 1 only applies to a tiny, tiny, tiny percentage of games played (tournament + AL + other games that affirmatively want it)...
If the rule doesn't impact your gaming, you need not have an opinion about it. If it does, it can have a large impact. It unnecessarily limits many of those players....and if you don't like it, play FG, or Roll20, or a pickup game, or find a table that's not AL. I fail to see the problem in a rule that the vast majority of D&D players aren't even aware of.
I don't understand the argument that if the role doesn't apply to most players, it doesn't need to be designed we'll to provide the best game experience for players that fall under it. That is like saying you Don't need to design a good monk class because only a small number of people play monks.
