Of course, given that I don't like the idea of there being any difference between professional and non-professional skills, either, that's not really going to worry me
It also makes some sense that you will develop the skills you use in your profession faster than those that you don't because you use them more often. All in all however, it's just a game mechanic, designed to provide some balance to the system and make it harder for people to abuse it.
