Amen to that! Imagine how much simpler it gets for players and GMs alike when there are no exceptions to whether or not any talents cost double. Everything costs face value for everyone. Problem solved.
If this makes you fear wizards would become too powerful, then call Wizardry itself an (expensive) talent costing 4, 5, or 6 points, thus limiting most wizards to not so many more of the
other talents than they can afford already under RAW.
And if you wish to avoid a hero "morphing" into a wizard in actual play (in the rare event they saved up all their XP to make such a transition) simply disallow it. Call the prerequisite for the Wizardry talent "Began study in childhood and completed by late adolescence", thus requiring a new PC that wants to be a wizard to take the Wizardry talent at character creation.
