The proposal makes sense, if you are afraid of a dump. Why not just let it dump, though? Those "correction proposals" are looking at things from a very short term point of view. It makes more sense to let the difficulty adjustment to its thing and let the dumpers dump, in the long term, the market will correct it.

It's not about people dumping the coins. That's fine. I welcome that. Cheaper for me to buy.
The problem is miners who don't care about decentralization, come for the quick sats and don't even set up their own Datum gateway. They end up using stratum instead of Datum. That gives power to the mining pools, which is one of the reasons for forking away from suitcoin.
So by making it less attractive to mine (making them wait before they can sell their sats), you have a shot at driving away those actors, and keeping those who care about the long-term health of the network.
