I understand your argument. See above for the ridiculous amount of open time argument. Secondly many lineholders would prefer lower line values. Let's see what happens when the low line option gets implemented in PBS.
Those two things should create more lineholders and fewer reserves without changing staffing levels. It might even require a few more since a reserve can be assigned more days of flying than the average lineholder.
