There’s a comment related to this in another thread that seems to address this point: Proposed SIP: Modify Coinbase Reward Per Block and Halving Schedule - #14 by incite.btc. Making PoX rewards the highest-yield activity you can do with STX could have the disastrous side-effect of choking Stacks defi projects of capital (because why would you put your STX there when PoX has a higher yield?). We’d want to model this of course if this discussion proceeds to a SIP, but it is something to think about. Per my above comment, PoX serves to help nodes deduce when they are eclipsed (i.e. stacking helps the network be stable); the yield is a nice side-effect.
