I think he makes some really valid points, but I also dont see WotC changing anything, because this probably prints them more money due to scalpers and a good portion of FOMO. Such a shame.

@Deadlytosty @MysticKetchup scalpers rarely make WotC extra money. They only do when the go all in on a set there isn't demand for.
@lovestha @Deadlytosty @MysticKetchup I'd disagree. We know WOTC values having their products in high demand and doesn't like things just sitting around. That's why they have limited print runs and why they threw away a lot of unsold masters product.
They also do want their products to be accessible by (at least some) players and don't want bad optics of sky high prices.
I imagine it's a balancing act between desirability and accessibility
