You're all assuming this is intentional, and the devs are purposefully inhibiting drops on this.
I tend to think it's just a bug that hasn't had enough attention paid to it that will be resolved once nilbog or alunova read the thread and do a bit of their own research and realize "yes, PoGrowth and PoHate were hotspots for vendor trash"
PoHate/Sky stones, Corpse coffins, Vendor Recharging, Tradeskills, and quests like Lodi Shield/JBoots/Wiz/SK Epic that involve decent chunks of cash as turning all function as plat sinks.
Vendor Recharging is probably the biggest current thing taking platinum out of the system. I have no doubt the server burns 50-100k weekly on recharging things like mallets, reapers, WC hats, slow stones, invis rings, root nets, wands/rain callers, etc.
