I think part of the argument is that Accumulate is something everyone can get easily and abuse right from the beginning. These other "game breaking" skills are obtained much later.
Ok, but Accumulate is an incredibly weak ability. You'd be better using a ranged attack like Elemental or attacking with a gun--if you accumulate 5 times and attack twice to finish the fight, then each accumulate dealt like...effectively 12 damage--you can do way, way, better than 12 with ranged attacks. Basic Skill is a solid candidate for "worst skillset in the game."
Yell is a lot more powerful than Accumulate, of course, but still not that great--largely because you only get it on one person. So...the rest of your party gets roasted while one person yells in the corner. Not ideal.
