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.

The value of the enchanting skill in morrowind wasn't for making your own items, it was the fact that high enchantment skill lowered the cost of using an enchanted item. In effect it made your enchanted weapons and items last longer.
