Agreed. It is a reference point though. The only other one I can think of is fast draw.

Make it a leveled perk at +.25 per level. That's as cheap as you can possibly get while maintaining the granularity of .25 increments.

The other option is to throw out 0.25 increments, of course :D

It really is the smallest part of Basic Speed.

About this, yes.

"Go First!" +0.25 [1]

Basic Speed +0.25 (Order of Action in Combat Only, -80%) [1]

In my campaign it costs 5 points/+1, but yeah, a 1 point/+0.25 might have been better.

In my radical moments, I think about creating a new Initiative attribute that's the average of DX and IQ (mental and physical reflexes), with a bonus from Combat Reflexes. And then I get a little carried away and figure Physical Speed (currently Basic Speed) might be ST+DX/4 instead of DX+HT/4, and then eventually I end up with more derived attributes than FATAL with nothing productive to show of it.

That's probably a good thing. >_<
