RCs are transaction fees. They just have a zero value at the moment. The governance resource has to be separated from the bandwidth resource for maximum agility. The system we have is good, in theory. We'll be testing that in the real world soon enough. We'll have to pivot if it sucks.

You only have to pay for your RCs once when you purchase your HP. They replenish for free forever when you've paid for your HP.
