Versatility? No one can realistically compete on your ladder without abundantly expensive rare claws. If anything, SBH makes competing MORE realistic, and it's certainly not the end all setup you're making it out to be.
These claws are becoming increasingly common and attainable for the average player. All thanks to Mr. Carson and a few key item creators. I like an added flavor of exclusivity to the ladder, but still keeping things within reason towards a broader spectrum of participants, hence the rule for eth breakable claws being allowed. Bear in mind, my actions are simply carried forth through the will of majority. And again, the consensus is that sheilds are just not for this ladder.
