If this were a thing, I would have wasted years of my life learning musical instruments and foreign languages. The reason those skills are rewarding to have is because you have to work for them. My skill levels in these things are a reflection of how I spend my time and who I am as a person. If that was just erased, and everyone could be good at everything, then I wouldn't be anyone anymore.
That's kind of the sad truth of it though, once it is a useful and safe enough thing, you either pay for it or get left behind, it's dystopian as fuck, but it will significantly increase the utility of those who can get it.
