Some need an incentive. Having a few extra frequencies to me isn't much of an incentive.
As far as "'dumbed-down' mind-set of the so-called 'ham' of today", you have to start somewhere. Six ham acquaintances of mine have bit the final bullet since December. As our current ham population ages and dies off, the ranks need and should be filled. Those interested in amateur radio should be drawn in as easy as possible. Through nurturing and guidance, over time, many will be just as productive in amateur radio as our seasoned "smart" ham population.
