I agree that 22 hours is a ridiculously low number of hours to be allowed to fly. At 40 hours you’re still a danger to yourself and others because of lack of expertise. It’s interesting calculus. Who is willing to rent their planes to Sport Pilots? What will this do to insurance costs? At the same time, this might be beneficial to the general aviation community. GA gets fucked by airports, insurance companies, and oil companies. Maybe if there were more GA pilots, there’d be more members of AOPA (a lobbying group for GA). Maybe Sport Pilots will continue their education and get more advanced certificates. More people flying is both a blessing and a curse.
