Why aren't rates above 1.0 counting for scores?

[mi40]

i don't see what the point of having a restriction in the first place is

forcing people to play through a song before letting higher rates record is basically the same thing as forcing people to run a marathon before running a triathlon, freaking stupidest idea ever

alloyus i'm gonna take your recent played games as an example

Winter Wind Etude
J'ai Envie de Plaisir X2
Rave7
Jamais Vu

hey look guess what? i don't see any easy songs on here because they're out of your skill range
well gee whillikers would you look at that, you might argue for "how the song was intended to be" but all i'm seeing is, you don't even TOUCH lower files anymore because 1) you aren't rewarded for playing them 2) it's not fun playing them because they're way out of your skill range

if you don't even touch the files once out of FREE WILL, i don't see how this "oh you have to play it on 1.0 to see how it was intended to be" argument follows through

worst freakin' idea ever.. what's the point of forcing people to "see how it was intended to be on 1.0" when you don't even touch it on 1.0
you can't tell me you went back and played super mario 8bit or this beat is for tha streetz to "see how it was intended on 1.0", this isn't some mona lisa exhibition where we sit back and appreciate how a simfile was intended to be, we're trying to cater to anyone and everyone, and in order to do that any kind of restriction like forcing people to sit through songs is the dumbest, stupidest idea i've ever heard
