I'm not sure who the "we" is here. But I don't agree either that more interesting abilities should be rated higher, nor that one must automatically be more interested in what makes their character unique. This argument doesn't hold for me at least.

Can't be that the "fetters" as you call them are actually well considered creative constraints? Meant to help players like us come up with better focused character concepts? Am I a more a munchkin for wanting to be limited?
