Soldier's Close Quarters vs. Whirling Swipe


Rules Questions


Oddly I can't find posts about this, which isn't really an issue, but quite puzzling...

The Soldier's Style Close Quarter is almost exactly the same as the Whirling Swipe feat. It's even weirder considering you get the feat along with the style!
Looking at it with a friend, the only difference we could find is that CQ qualifies you for some possible Area feats with melee weapons.

Even if that were the important difference, why not just grant the feat and add this feature to it?

Clearly, this is not an oversight or a playtest remnant, because either the feat or the ability would have been removed...

Insights?
