I agree, but there is always the small possibility that passengers could collude to drive the price to an outrageous level.
Take off the legal cap on VDB compensation. If an airline must still IDB a ticketed and confirmed passenger, then have a set IDB payout of $10,000 for up to a 4 hour delay, $25,000 for more than 4 hours. We won't change this practice unless we change the risk / reward math for the airlines.

It's called protection money. A staple racket for organized crime. So maybe this does make some sense.
