You seemed to ignored where I said exactly why - to avoid IDB. By law they must solicit volunteer first. Who is going to volunteer for free? Even if they don't have to pay anything they still must report out as having IDB a passenger if they don't get a volunteer. Same reason they'll pay iut $10k for VDB even though IDB would be only a few hundred.
