I agree, it should be part of the “basic” proof set. What has PCGS done, they have decided that the First Design is the variety of the modified or Second Design.
In reality both the “Accent Hair” and “non Accent Hair” 1964 proof Kennedy should be part of the Basic Proof Set like they always use to be. Why was it changed?
Not to change the subject, but why is the uncirculated 1998-S silver Kennedy half dollar only in the variety sets? What is it a variety of? If the uncirculated 1998-S silver is not a variety then shouldn’t it be in the “Basic Uncirculated Set”? I also fail to understand PCGS reasoning on this issue and have to wonder what their motivation is (I have asked but no reasonable explanation given). I understand that the uncirculated 1998-S silver was only issued as one of two coins in a commemorative set from the US Mint but also wasn’t the 1970-D and the 1987-P&D Kennedy half dollars also only issued in a set from the US Mint?
Ultimately PCGS might be one of the best grading companies but they sure need to work on how they put sets together especially with the Kennedy series. Consistency would be great but it appears to be too much to ask for. I will leave the rest for an article.

I wonder why it is NOT in the Half Dollar Commerative Set?
