> there's less incentive for China to control Taiwan.

a very minor effect imho. china doesn't want to control taiwan due to any economic reasons. It's ideological.

China doesn't want the model of a free, democratic society of chinese people to exist, because it proves that the CCP's authoritarianism isn't the only "good" model.

Look at how hong kong was cracked down; china took the opportunity to do it, when the economic bounties from hong kong was being usurped by shenzen (and to a degree, shanghai).
