Yes there are other alternatives, but continuing to explicitly lead the flock around isn't helping open up new ones faster than old ones are getting closed. Eventually the MS stool runs out of time/cost effective legs to stand on.
No, it's not the same. VRs are a specific small market -- GCs are a much larger market with lots of competition. In addition, CVS seems to have made VRs cash-only because a change in their cost made the deal untenable. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with increased volume.

Your suggestions are at base selfish. I'm going to keep helping people. Sorry.
