SE has been at war with RMT for years, why would they want to introduce anything that could help them? Or to turn their own player base into (reverse) RMT? That would be pretty hypocritical.
This system requires SE to be more strict and efficient about RMT. CCP (EvE dev) has eliminated almost all RMT simply by introducing PLEX, making game mechanics unappealing for RMT and cloasely watching the flow of currency. This idea is not meant to be THE cure for RMT, it's a way of taking power from them.

Since the introduction of PLEX in EvE there wasn't single day without them being seeded on the market. Even if there are none available for the moment: Just buy a GTC from SE. It's ONE way of paying and they're not required to keep this way of "paying" available for players.

Then SE has to find the loophole and plug it.
