Is that a problem? They don't get any upsides, but no downsides. There are lots of upsides and one downside, basically. People without a style have no downside but none of the upsides.

Saying people with a style can claim they don't have it just when it the disadvantage comes up ("He knows Muay Thai? I throw a plain karate punch!") seems unfair and nonsensical to me.
