Why? Again this is non profit. Their stated goal is simply to recreate a "museum" server that as closely resembles classic as possible. This isn't supposed to be a money maker where they need to have as many players as possible or anything. It's not a business. People will still play P99. If the numbers dwindle a little bit it really doesn't make a big difference. A sizeable portion of the playerbase doesn't raid at all. You think they're all going to quit if raid gear gets easier to attain?
I do agree with your other points though

P99 is a very niche server that has quite a few hurdles to jump over before you even get it working.
For players like us who love the game, we are willing to jump over said hurdles. But a lot of people stop at the point of trying to get the game working in the first place if they are not as familiar with the game.
Based on the data from the TLPs, I am farily certain people would leave P99 at a faster rate due to accomplishing their goals faster. As population dwindles, more people leave because the server feels empty.
You have to be extremely careful with multiplayer games. The player base is required to keep the game alive. Clearly the scarcity formula works for P99, or it would have died years ago. Anybody who wants faster loot is already playing TLP probably.
