Economic control, pure and simple. We are manufacturing items and therefore money out of thin air when we gather. Unlike crafting which is constrained by other materials, the only constraint they can put on gatherers are timers.
What he's talking about is the fact that if you log out while missing GP, you could come back hours later and be at the same amount of GP when you log in. This doesn't constrain the market at all when you could regen GP by standing around being logged in at that time. It's just a dumb system.
