Huh? That does not parse. Some of the most reliable shifting systems were thumbshifters, downtube shifters and bar-con shifters. With those systems, you could throw across the whole cassette without a problem. Limiting the amount of gears you can shift within a single throw does not make shifting any better or more reliable. The derailleurs and gears will handle shifting across the entire range fine. I believe your points are without basis.
