Why do you feel this is a reduction? If anything, it is an attempt to summarize the various areas of math and how they relate to each other.

It’s like principal component analysis, the main axis, I don’t mean reduction in a negative way.

Broadly yes, but summarization can simultaneously be compression of data and revelation of structure, hence increasing understanding.
