I dislike the notion because many classic archetypes come complete with built in allies

Someone who wants a ranger ally with an animal companion or wizard ally with a familiar should not be buying the animal companion or familiar, rather the ally should be buying those, and have the ally, but the wizard or ranger will themselves be weaker than if they did not bhave their allies (as spent points on Ally)

This seems fair enough to me
