Because so long as you held a soulstone at some point and learned those skills, they stay with you. As is the case with all NPC trainers who pass on their stone to you. Just means that characters can't be actively serving Dragoons.
Ah, but therein lies the rub.
Does one keep Dragoon skills once they part with the Soulstone or do they go back to being a Lancer?
.....
The answer is Lancer but if someone wanted to RP it that way I'd probably shrug and look the other way as well.

I think forcing people who have sunk months or years into RPing an Ishgardian dragoon, to the extent that removing that part of the character would involve retconning those months/years of roleplay to have never happened and rerolling the character completely, to give it up because the lore writers decided to arbitrarily stick a really low number on the job is... harsh. There are doable workarounds for the RP community; I think we should use them.
Pretty much this.
It IS lorebreaking.
I'll be looking the other way though.
