Oh, I know a merit system wouldn't be perfect either. After the Noble Alliance lost the civil war, there were plenty of commoners who took the opportunity to try to abuse the system themselves. Some of them caused damage that'll take a long time to fix.
Still, I think people should be allowed to make their own paths, not be forced to follow something decided for them at birth. Even if it's got problems, it'd be an improvement. [If he had followed tradition, he would've ended up as a soldier, like his father. And hated every moment of it]
Though you're a little off about Celestia. The people of Teyvat thinks the visions and ascending to Celestia is based on merit - but it's not actually true. According to Forneus, everyone's in this world has their destiny written out for them in a constellation. That's why he needed to bring in outsiders to help.
