Everyone should work on knowing all skillsets before they even think of a group.

That is how commerce between groups is initiated. One trades what one does not have, for what one has and the other group lacks.
Telling yourself you can learn all skillsets is comforting, but in my opinion, unrealistic.
One cannot make up for the years of knowledge and experience of an actual medical professional when an appendectomy is needed. Likewise, certain vehicle repairs will get done faster and better by one who is experienced in vehicle diagnostics.
While it is possible to acquire some skillsets with hard work and concentration, the hours expended getting them necessarily mean that other demands on one's time must go wanting. Without others to take up the slack, one's attempt to specialize may well mean that vital tasks get left undone.
