Spellcaster doesn't get spell of higher level in this case, only spellslot. A martial still get the proficiency up.

You don't run out of attacks in a day, martials. Kindly fuck off. :P

Just saying, the cantrip gets more powerful but you just get one. I would prefer smaller cantrips but more of them like eldritch blast. So more sword swing is decent
