$1440/yr seems hardly worth the effort for he hassle and cost of moving every year. Compounding rent increase over years makes it substantial.

I suppose you don't have kids though, which may simplify things.

Chinese speculators reduce growth by keeping property vacant. Airbnb doesn't affect growth.

You left out the #1 reason: so you can suss out their spending power and level of need so you can charge value-based pricing instead of cost-based pricing. Nothing you wrote is relevant to OP's concern about "call for price".

Companies can fund art directly (and many do, such as Google/YouTube), instead of wastefully routing it through government.

Building a successful business requires taking responsibility for all the boring details. Complaining that it is someone else's fault wastes precious time and hurts morale.

It's not arbitrary. The only two choices that work are the real center of gravity, and the observer's position with the real center of gravity orbiting the observer and everything else orbiting the real center of gravity. If Tycho chose Jupiter as the center of the orbits, the planetary orbits would have the same problem of epicycles as the older models.

Floating point error is far far smaller than measurement error and missing data.
