I agree that there are risks in hoarding 0 days. I do not believe it is possible to minimize the risk of hoarding beyond a conceivable momentary blip from sudden market changes. I do agree it would be desirable if it were possible.
In your opinion, should consultants announce they're no longer accepting business from their biggest clients? That way the price they can charge will increase, if your theory is correct, right?

No, I’m suggesting that if they offer a specialized capability that is not well met by the market their sudden availability represents a new market opportunity for someone. My thesis here is zero days have intrinsic value and as long as that’s the case there will be a buyer.

There will always be a buyer of course, the question is about the price. You claim less buyers mean the price goes up, I think it will go down. It matters because if the price drops so low you can't afford to produce them, logically less will be produced.

The thing about very large clients is they typically tend to negotiate an extremely large discount. Aka should the United States decide to get out of the business of buying things prices would actually go up as capacity went to players who otherwise can't find the market

Arguably, one sees some of this dynamic in part where certain regional buyers have sought to impose restrictions more or less effectively keeping US suppliers from bidding for protectionist reasons. Regional buyers face higher prices, less capacity; & global markets continue rise

In certain specialties and small fields it’s not weird.
