Players can either choose to hope lots of other players make the move for those additional plots, reducing the competition on their already congested homeworlds, or they can choose to make that move themselves.
Competing with the same 30,000 players for 150 plots doesn't seem like a great deal compared to competing with a significantly lower number of players for 3,600 plots.
