The problem is, the platform's best interest is to spread the distribution of Hive token inflation wide (contrary to interests of large stakeholders who want high curator cut).
Now,
- Rewarding authors in HP
and
- Rewarding authors in Layer 2 tokens while asking them to please kindly unstake, sell on HE, swap SWAP.HIVE for HIVE and stake it on Layer 1
... is not the same thing.
