let me slightly modify the sentence below:
"The Prisoner's Dilemma is a standard example of a game analyzed in game theory that shows why completely rational large holders might not cooperate, even if it appears that it is in their best interests to do so."
I'm pretty sure we will have a textbook case of Prisoner's Dilemma here.

not only don't we need issuance or fees, but also the censorship resistance is not meaningfully improved with issuance

that's it.
 
it's not complicated
