It is human nature to always underestimate the amount of work required to perform a task when it is other people that have to do it. So it's easy for anyone to say "player ratings should generate all statistics" but actually making that happen in a baseball sim where there are high expectations for historical accuracy is another thing entirely.
League totals and modifiers are the sledgehammers in OOTP that ensure statistical accuracy. If you removed them, accuracy would drop dramatically and it would take years for the OOTP devs to balance the new system properly and even more time to recover from the customer backlash over it.
