Previously considered and not implemented.

If path of exile implemented a stat cap, I might say go for it. But with no stat cap this is far too powerful. Strength gives increased damage and life, intelligence mana and ES%, dexterity accuracy and EV %. If these went to incredibly large numbers it'd be incredibly broken. If you need a stat stick to make the game easier for you, might I suggest the Astramentis amulet? Pretty much +110-120 to all stats in a single piece of gear.

Without a cap, it quickly becomes a wealth-gating ordeal to where the hyper-wealthy could naked-walk through everything with zero issue. Build will matter zilch: it'll all be a matter of how many orbs you could buy. (some of you don't realize just HOW wealthy some players can get!)
I mean, if you could bump up to 10k strength, that's an extra +5k base life (like being able to just throw on an extra 5 legacy Kaom's for free: read that and tell me how that's balanced) and 2000% increased *ALL* damage. (at that point, Iron Grip/Iron Will *WILL* be used for obscene damage) No need to even bother leveling. Low-level dueling would become a complete joke: rather than an attempt to hold things controlled to avoid those with extreme high-end items, it'd just be a contest to see who had sunk more stat orbs in.

what if the stats added to a separate "stat pool" and only applied to equipping items, and provided no life/mana/eva/etc bonuses?

That's just making the rules inconsistent. It's not a better solution.
