Lol..
What is there to learn multiple times after each level in a quest with a fixed outcome?
You can have different choices but there is nothing to justify different XP points for same outcome.

Yes a bad thing IMO

Better to boost the skill's base percentage which is very low.

I guess that is a fair question, but not for the current dev team as this skill was introduced by the original dev team 9+ years ago.

why not change it though..? heck you arent even changing it, it just a small addition that improves the skill... and its just not gonna happen because you dont feel like it at the moment?

Changing a skill is generally not a good idea. It is usually not possible to retroactively apply the change for those that have already taken the skill.
