My guess is that they realised that there was no way to have enchant be a viable skill while still limiting people's ability to make scads of overpowered equipment. In Morrowind, enchanting an item required either paying a huge amount for someone to do it for you even when you had your own soul gem, or boosting your intelligence to ridiculous levels so that your enchant attempt wouldn't inevitably fail. So enchant was essentially useless and there was no way to increase it except through recharging with soul gems or the very small increases that you got from items recharging by themselves. So you have a skill that you can't improve through practice, unlike all other skills, and that even if you have it maxed you still can't really use it properly without boosting intelligence.
