Well, I get that the 2nd point stayed for balancing purposes (grumbling of acceptance), hence the 3rd point.
Can a limbless person ever become a Psychic? The playtest text seems to suggest that as long as you can at least move your head around you're cool (which makes sense, brain power and all that), so is this RAW intended?

The intent behind this note is just to show how the flavor of a psychic's somatic components might be a bit different from a wizard or sorcerer's to be a little closer to what it might be seen in psychics in media. It's still a somatic component.
Re disability in our products, the intent is to not lock characters into or out of mechanics based on disability. If that's a part of the story you want to tell with your character, it's best that you discuss that with your group and GM to find a way that works for everyone (though we have some base suggestions to start from in the CRB). We have a few characters missing limbs in art and I'm sure we'll have more as we go along, so if you want to make a psychic (or other spellcaster, for that matter) who's missing a limb, go for it!

There are plenty of creatures which cast spells without traditional limbs. Presumably a creature learns how to cast with the body they have.
