So why do you want to cater to one group and only one group in one of these, and then another group, and only that group, in the other 
I mean, I know why, but nonetheless why?
Seems like you try to use players who don’t like to make their own builds, not because you care about them and want to help them, but only as roundabout excuse for advocating for a system that would ultimately not be in their interest. Nor in other players interest really.
A non-simplistic, non-procedural system means both those who like to learn the system and those who do not can get something out of it.
If you simplify it, it only caters to the last group.
Btw, the idea that you can’t copy a procedural build is hardly true
Especially not when you also want to simplify the math.
People would just make sites where you manually fill in your specific paragon boards and the guide tells you how to spend your points.
Similar to how in WoW you have sites/addons telling you the optimal gear and affixes based on not just a general guide, but the specific gear you are currently wearing.
