Diablo 4's hellish respec system is ruining the endgame for me

Here's a mystery for ya. Right now, I'm a level 88 Necromancer in Torment world tier. I've got a vault packed with Ancestral Rares, Legendaries, and Uniques, plus Aspects I've been hoarding for potential builds I want to try—and there are a lot of builds I want to try. So, how is it that it's harder for me to change my build than it is for someone who's level 20 and has just started the game?

I'm not talking about skill respec costs, either; gold is easy to get in Diablo 4, especially at the higher world tiers where you're selling Rares and Ancestrals pretty often. If it wasn't, players wouldn't be able to regularly drop millions rerolling item affixes. No, this is because I have to respec 58 skill points and four Paragon Boards every time I want to try something fresh. Honestly, by the time I've contemplated the process, that fun little build experiment feels far more uncertain, especially when my current character is already strong.
