I'm sure looter skill though came after the loot 2 implementation.
Looter skills was effectively old school non-SIB weapons stats, moved from the weapon too the loot return instead.
It allowed MA to say your weapon might be 10/10 but with the illusion of making it SIB. But now the need to skill 3 types of looter skills instead. Unless you specialise to one mob.
MA is like Mexican food, changes all amount to the same thing, it's just wrapped differently. Haha

Doesn't matter if it came after, they are in the "optimized and improved" part. They can add how
many skills they want, it is still within the need to max out to reduce inefficiency.
I put some thoughts and speculation here mostly as questions, I have a rough idea about
it already, these questions are for others:
What is looter prof stands? A bunch of skills that we both gain doing the action, but also a lot
of skills we have to do other actions to gain. Why is that?
Is it due to making it harder to max out efficiency from looter prof stand skills?
Why include hard to get skills in loot calculation (not the prof stand, but individual skills)?
Why include skills that are gained from a profession that was more or less killed many years
ago (scanning)? Why did some ubers scan NPCs back in 2003 several hours every night, is it
due to these skills always have been there to influence outcome?
Even though a skill might have 4% influence in a prof stand, as Xenobiology have, when it
work as individual skill in influence of loot is it point level that is important? Do all skills then
have equal influence and is based on the level of points (with a cap at 10k maybe)?
Is this why some that have bumped their prof stands up and still complain their loot is bad
even though their prof stand is high, but have a lot of undeveloped skills with low points?
If we look at loot 2.0 announcment in a total different perspective, why did that and also
removal of keys for strongboxes for those in Sweden pop up just before the new gambling law
came out Sweden?
There a LOT more questions I could drop, but for now, at least give these some thoughts.
