I think they did an awesome job with choosing very different types of skills for the requirements.
Herblore - Expensive but really easy to train.
Slayer - High incentive rewards for training, but one of the most time consuming 90s.
Thieving - Fast & inexpensive. One of the fastest skills to train.
Fishing - Easy, mid-slow, high cash opportunity, gathering.
Runecrafting - Easy, still pays homage to those who already got 90+ old way.
Smithing - Expensive, secondary skill.
I'd imagine they wanted it to be on a spectrum. Expecting Thieving, Fishing, and Runecrafting to be most common 90+, and perhaps the Herblore, Slayer, and Smithing being extras for those who've trained above and beyond the easy skills.
