I’m sure your also aware of DL’s Maxpass, which is an upcharge (it also seems to be a better system then Orlando’s.)
I actually wouldn’t mind upcharge FPs - the more expensive, the better. But the idea that WDW doesn’t want to wring every penny out of their billion dollar boondoggle is nuts. Yes, Disney reaps some benefits from FPs ability to create the illusion of value, shuffle crowds around, and collect data. But the first two of those objectives are actually furthered if most FPs are upcharges, and data collection can continue apace as long as tying them to credit cards and room keys convinces guests to strap tracking bracelets to themselves.
Betting on the generosity of WDW management is unwise.
