Especially when you treat classes and archetypes as bundles of abilities rather than strict societal roles. It would also make parties slightly boring if there were two Knights of the Whatever or two Whatever-Robed Wizards in it, because they'd have nearly-identical abilities. It was one thing back in 1e/2e when there were only a handful of classes and doubling-up was expected, but that's less acceptable in 5e when there are many ways to customize your character.I'm not saying feats are the best way to do the Knights and Wizards, but it might be the best way that 5e currently has.</blockquote>
