You can't always assume focus point and spot are the same. What if you want to spot meter for the clouds in the sky in a landscape shot. For me, the problem with cameras prior to X-T1 is not so much the center spot as much as there is no indicator for where this is when you move the focus point off center and no longer have a reference point.
As far as assuming 18% gray, I.e zone V. I just apply the desired EC to map what I am spot metering into the zone it needs to be in. For example EC -1 would make it zone IV, EC +1 would make it zone VI.

Oh oh. Sounds like you got it bad.

Fstop stfu. This thread is already way too sexist, I had the same thought as Imirante even if I'm a man who don't especially appreciate feminism.
I really did think gosh, are gearheads really only a bunch of angry macho nerds? It's disturbing.
yes, it is disturbing. Unfortunately, I have learned to accept this about most men. You are not helping with your rudeness.

We are a fickle bunch.
The 18 is an excellent lens. It is fast and light.
Then, along comes the 14. The 18 is an excellent lens. It is fast and sharp and light. Suddenly, there's not much love for the 18.
Then, along comes the 10-24. The 10-24 is an excellent lens. It is fast and sharp and light and it has IS. Suddenly, there's not much love for the 14.
Now, along comes the 16mm...
I am not sure why 18 would be replaced by the 14. Similarly, I am not sure why 14 would be replaced by 16. They are different focal lengths. Based on the order of release, perhaps you meant the following instead?:
18 fixed --> 18-55 ois/10-24 ois
14 fixed --> 10-24 ois
16 WR fixed --> ????

Imirante,
that is simple. Men have primal desires. Tell him that you want to get into tasteful nudes of yourself and you need the 90mm to do it. Ask him to take the photos. Guaranteed to work.

That second picture has some weird issues
long focal lengths causes compression of foreground and background. short focal length do the opposite, they expand foreground and background. If you tilt the camera up with a wide angle lens, you bring the foreground even closer and move the background further away. What you end up is a keystone perspective.
If someone is not wanting this effect, they need to mind the tilt due to the expansion property of wide angles. Else they will need to fix in post using keystone correction.
I personally like this property when I intend to exaggerate distance of foreground vs background Similar but opposite to compression, when I intend to compress distance.
Both properties are tools in photography.
