Bungie could maybe make that if you get all the upgrades for a subclass that you get a reward, like glimmer or a random weapon, etc... That would really make me work for something instead of just farming and waiting until I level up my class.
Please leave in the comments if you feel the same about this!

Eh, your reward is the capstone skill. Also, you can level up your second subclass strictly through turning in bounties. I have never touched my voidwalker subclass yet have it almost fully leveled up.
