I'm beginning to see your point about tiered licensing. I was smart enough to buy a 400 and ride that for twelve years before moving up to a 600, and I've never crashed. But some clowns will go out and buy a 600 Supersport as their first bike, crash it, and raise insurance rates for the rest of us responsible riders. So, tiered licensing wouldn't have affected me, since I was already doing the responsible thing anyway, but it might have kept that moron from making riding more expensive for me or, better yet, kept that dipshyt from riding altogether since he would be barred from owning the "best" motorcycle right out of the gate.
