I think the goal of this proposal much like that other proposal they agreed to in mid-2022 is bring the field closer together by neutralising the the skaters with higher abilities. I think the big feds and the ISU are trying to get all the ducks in a row before skaters from a particular country are allowed to compete again. This proposal and the one implemented mid-2022 along with low balling PCS will achieve the desired goal.
Unfortunately more power will be in the hands of judges. Basically every discipline will become somewhat predetermined like ice dance, and will hasten the inevitable demise of the sport.
Still, it won't help the feds pushing for this. Instead of dominance from that country it will dominance from Japanese, Korean and that country.
