I'm not sure the situation is the same as 2017. There was a big issue of the influence of Steemit
(not witnesses or stakeholders) being in control of development and the monetization of the web site, and their interests not necessarily being aligned with the stakeholders. Just about any (if not any) mechanism of implementing an upward peg in the presence of high demand is a direct positive for the value of HIVE, which is obviously of high interest to the voting stakeholders. While authors may not like the idea of crimping a wildly pumped reward coin, they're not, in general, the stakeholders or voters or witnesses.
