On a serious note, I think having differentiation is important and would be happy to have more not less. I don't understand why every class gets weapon proficiencies though?
I don't remember Harry Potter going to his knife fighting class in any of the books. Why does a Scholar Wizard know how to fight proficiently with five very different weapons?

Give more martial characters proficiency as a class feature, but other characters can pick up proficiency through their background or culture.
That's a 5eism, traditionally wizards did not even have simple weapons. Classes that had simple but not martial weapons were bard cleric rogue & sorcerer. It used to look like this for wizardsIt feels like I don't want to send strictly scholar wizards into the field without at least some extra training. I'm not sure why those five weapons in particular though except because of inertia from the past.
Nope. I feel strongly that Advanced 5E should make more tiers of weapon proficiency.
I agree.
I would go with 4-5 weapon proficiencies.
Wizards don't even get simple weapons. They just get clubs, staves, daggers, darts,and the basic crossbow. Commoner weapons.
