It is a choice to do so , but please do not try to convince us that only a few benefit from transitions, it is simply not true.
I do not even try that hard and at 70% seniority on the left seat I get some sort of transition drop at least every other month.
Transitions are a great benefit to open time, reserves and junior pilots, and not just the folks "lucky enough" to get them.

PBS is going to dramatically decrease staffing, (10-15%) which will affect everyone.
This may mean the difference between being stuck on reserve or relief indefinitely, or no upgrade if your are in the 55-65% seniority range when growth stops.
