Isn't there also something along the lines of what's called "culpable deniability"? Since podlings may be in states where their offerings might not be as legal as TLPs (licensing issues, trademark/branding issues, etc.), is it not more convenient for them to be relegated to an area specifically designated as "not officially supported"? This is very clearly demarked by a subdomain and a subproject, and if there's to be a subdomain and a subproject it makes sense that there are people specifically managing them.
I submit that the IPMC is an effect of the incubator rather than a cause. I think the mechanisms need to be in place so that not-yet-legal projects can exist and work on becoming legal projects, and that it's just as well that staff exists to manage them.
