Probably because even with your solution, there would still be a need to increase the amount everyone has to pay. That’s still a hard sell.
By only making some people pay more, you’re actually making it an easier sell because that limits the amount of people that will be upset because they personally will be affected. Those that aren’t affected can be convinced with arguments.
