Of course not. I never suggested it did. Here is the link to the full blog:

The blog doesn't draw a conclusion from just that statistic, there is mutually supporting evidence that suggests that players who buy-in for 30BB are both more likely to be losers, and lose more money in total.
In my opinion, most compelling is what happens when you take a 30BB player and make them buy-in for 100BB. On average, they lose less.
Similarly if you take a 100BB player and make them buy-in for 30BB, they lose more.
On the topic of allowing a choice of buy-in, lets say there are these groups of players.
Group A: Buys in for 100BB all the time. (This is about 85% of players)
Group B: Buys in for 30BB all the time. (About 8% of players).
Group C: Buys in for some other specific amount all the time. (About 5%)
Group D: Buys in for a random amount, such as whatever is left in their account, or has no consistent pattern. (Remaining 2% of players).
Group A (85%) doesn't need a choice. Our existing experience works for them.
Group B (8%) wants a choice but would, as a whole, do better if they bought in for 100BB. They would also be worth more to a poker room in the long term if they bought in for 100BB. Group B is also unpopular - lots of players, especially those in Group A, don't want to play against them. Hence their value is lower than it appears, as they drive away other players.
Group C (5%) we have not attempted to draw conclusions on at this time.
Group D (2%) would do a lot better if they played for stakes they could afford.
Given the above, would you develop a feature that requires time and effort, and complicates the user interface? What argument would you make to do so?

Any ETA on a fix?
If it helps, it seems to happen more often when "sit out next hand" is selected before playing a hand.
Lastly, I have reported multiple instances of this on Nordic and Betsson, the first sometime last week. I have yet to hear back from any of them, any idea how much longer this might take?
We've identified an issue which affects Sit & Gos and are working on it right now. I don't have a deployment date yet though. If this is happening to you in cash games or MTTs, then we haven't been able to recreate the issue yet.
Either way, I'd really appreciate it if you would PM me some details. I can follow up with Betsson / Nordic to find out the status of your query with them, and the additional detail would be helpful to us. Please remove any personal data before you PM me. Thanks.

All of these poker rooms left MPN a long time ago (the most recent of the ones you mentioned was Unibet in 2014). It's not appropriate for me to comment why (and in many cases I don't know as it was before my time), if you want an answer you could ask them.
