I don’t believe this is a change from last year(s), except if you look in the rules, the last paragraph gives the TD the discretion to alter rule, which they did for some events last year, i.e. stacks purchased before shuffle-up-n-deal were not in play. Maybe TD doesn’t expect any exceptions this year.

Moneymaker's $10,000 Main Event buyin in 2003 is worth over $16,000 in today's money
The price of poker has went DOWN over the past 20 years. /s
There's definitely more factors than this... when estimating turnout, but WSOP buyins have largely stayed the same while everything else has went up in price. Perhaps that means more people turn out for the bigger events?

In 2003 the rake on a $500 tournament was $50. Today it is $80, a 60% increase.
In 2007 the casino employee event field was 1039 players with a prizepool of $467,500.
This year had almost the same size field, 1015 players, but a smaller prizepool of $426300.
To create a 2007 prizepool for this event with the 2023 field size and rake the buyin would need to be about $550.
WSOP buyins have definitely trended down in the last 20 years as there are now a lot of $300 to $600 events. Probably the biggest driver of the increase in turnout.
