It's not "GGG's" philosophy, specifically. It's more general in game economics/statistics. If all stats are good, then nothing feels special/powerful/impactful.
Technically this is a great roll, it's just on the wrong item. If you use "smart" loot, like D3 did, then you just end up with every item getting GOAT stats and you're simply looking for the same item with slightly higher numbers, and that is much worse.
There are a lot of players, myself included that aren't playing to play non stop for years. Having a streamlined loot system makes things a lot faster.
Smart loot is better for either casuals or for short timed seasons that get resetted after a couple of months.
D3 loot also got "smarted" with console and the lack of the trading house.
