Competition. 
#1 goal of the service should be: figure out a way to not go bankrupt as a matter of course.

Agreed, although as I said, sustainable for the subscription provider and the publisher are not the same thing, it's possible KU will never make long-term sense for the BWM's.
Totally agree with your 2 points, but most of the subscription providers seem to have started with 2, then only looked at 1 after they had a number of subscribers.
