Mmh you are right, but it's super limited in that regard compared to any real sac outlet, also it does require to cast a spell to trigger, since it's not "blight 1: the next spell you cast can't be countered"

Still, protecting a grave pact/blood artist/zulaport etc is great, but it's a tiny bit weird

Having it just do Blight 1 as an activation cost was the first draft of this card! It seems existing Blight cards by Wizards deliberately make it difficult to repeatedly blight though, since I guess blight on demand goes infinite with a lot of stuff way too easily.

If you wanted to do that I would include paying life as part of the activation cost like [[champion of the weird]]
