Should We Stake DEC Instead of SPS For Ranked Battles?

In this video, I respond to a comment on my YouTube channel regarding how the staking requirements across game modes are very different. To be honest, I had never actually even thought about it until now. With Ranked Battles which have been around since Splinterlands began, staking SPS became an important element to earn rewards several years ago and it's utility has only grown with the addition of Glint and the Fortune Pass for premium foil reward cards. Opposite that, we have a DEC staking requirement for land in order to max out production which seems odd if we were really trying to drive value to SPS in the same way. The argument for land is so that we can keep costs manageable in case SPS rises too much, but wouldn't that create a problem in ranked battles then? I'm not sure which is the correct way to go - or maybe not change anything at all.
