It's like the fast pass system at Disneyland. In the beginning, there were no fast passes so everyone was equally miserable. Then Disney introduced fast passes and the people who spent the money on them got a significantly better experience. As more and more people bought fast passes, the wait times for fast passes began to resemble the pre-fast pass experience. Nowadays, it's pretty much mandatory to get a fast pass if you want any sort of reasonable experience in the park at all. People are still equally as miserable but Disney is now making a lot more money.
