I'm not saying you're wrong, but you're making a lot of assumptions with this statement:
As we saw with the wLEO Uniswap pool, the value of LEO went up even as users were powering down their coins. Imagine having LEO listings on dozens of exchanges. There's a pretty good chance more coins get powered down over the coming years considering the huge percentage that is already powered up. On top of this, one of the biggest reasons my upvote is so big is that there is still a lot of powered up stake out there that doesn't even use their upvotes. For every account that doesn't drain the reward pool it makes everyone else's vote more powerful.
There's also the weird issue of inflation creating inflation. Every token that gets created adds to the total amount of coins, and the reward pool is funded by a percentage of those coins that are constantly increasing. We counterbalance this aspect by lowering our inflation every so often just like Hive. However, we could find ourselves in a position where the smartest play is to actually keep inflation static or even increase it from where it currently is given certain circumstances.
In all likelihood though... yes, an x100 LEO explosion would give x100 times the incentive to leech the reward pool, lowering the weight of my vote and fanning it out to the accounts that weren't allocating it before then.
