: the impression that the people skated much better.

: whatever...and it is a very stylish alternative! ;-)
Those who have fun developing skates don't keep anyone from doing all this.
I see your points, but I think that everyone should do what floats his boat.
Developing skates doesn't hurt anyone :)
