Doesn't the points system simply set some criteria to qualify for a visa?

In the case of Canada a Permanent Residency card is issued, which may be revoked.

An issue I ran into when, years ago, contemplating a move to Canada is that the points based system is not flexible enough. Due to my not having completed an undergraduate degree I did not qualify, despite a company wanting to employ me.

Canada has taken in a bunch of immigrants who are academically educated but nowhere near Canadian standards, and do not have the skills necessary to secure reasonable employment. It was until relatively recently possible to achieve the required score and gain PR status without being able to speak either of Canada's languages.
