Yeah, but this is the problem. They're doing them a favour that means nothing. They are keeping them away from the hybrids anyway. So there's a lot of posturing and "balancing" going on, to achieve the exact same result anyway. They are not being honest in what they say they are doing, and actions they take.
If you're balancing them, then balance them. If you're not, then you're not. There are valid arguments for both approaches. The current approach is pretending they are balancing them, pretending it's all fine, and then at the last minute saying "nah just kidding, we'll make sure there's a gap".
It's the same with the new regulations. They were worried nobody was signing up so kept changing it. But now it's changed so much that nobody is signing up because nobody knows what it is anymore. Pick something and commit to it properly.
