While the enchanter supports does have a higher winrate, the tank supports are dominating the proscene. In the NA LCS Spring split of 2018 the 4 most picked supports were melee tanks. And depending on if you count Morgana or not the most picked enchanter would be Janna, who's at 10th place. So while they could use some love for solo queue it would probably mess up the proscene too much at the moment.

I'm not sure if nerfing the early game range of a support such as Thresh would help you as much as you think. If anything that sound like a huge nerf. And Iceborn Gauntlet can already be used by him since they removed the difference between range and melee on it and instead gave it more armor scaling. But I don't really see much of a reason for Riot to keep him as a ranged champion besides "logic", but they've already forsaken this ideal on several other champions/abilities.

On the topic of skill order I think you're supposed to put a couple of points in E for the extra damage it gives in early trades and then you max Q for the lower cooldown. After that you max out W or E depending on if you need the lower cooldown on your lantern or really need some more damage.
