So that way is less complicated I'll give you that. But i don't think most casinos are on board with your "earn less money strategy".
I understand it used to be the rule. It made customers complain and unhappy. The casino went with let's make the customer happy, especially when it doesn't cost us anything strategy.
I am very against strategy talk at the table. I feel like I would hate listening to supervisors explaining ICM to players when they ask why they had to pay more or get less chips.
You're trying to solve a problem that is barely noticed and just not worth it tbh
