Well, the particular motifs that require certain crafting ranks (Ancient Elf, Barbaric, Primal, Daedric) are more than just outfit styles.
They are also crafting motifs for armor and weapons, so while being a huge pain in the backside if you don't have a crafter character, it does kinda sorta make sense that you would need a certain level of skill to craft armor and weapons in some motifs.
ALTHOUGH... the logic behind whatever... "flavor"... they intended to infuse into the game with that criteria isn't consistent, given that there are currently 89 numbered crafting motifs in the game, and a crafting rank is required for JUST those four.

When the game was new those four motifs were the only purple ones, so it made sense at the time. But now it's just silly.
Yes, back then the purple books was rare and expensive and you could only use them for crafting so it made sense you could only use them for crafting characters.Well, the particular motifs that require certain crafting ranks (Ancient Elf, Barbaric, Primal, Daedric) are more than just outfit styles.

Ah.
Thanks for that info.
I came late to the party (didn't start playing ESO until 2018), so I didn't know that.
