The premise is false as I stated earlier.

People do play the poly. By reducing takeout, they will play longer and bet more money over time than they do now. Sure, there will still be some who won't bet poly if the takeout were 10%, but they aren't betting it now.
Most bettors bet poly though.
Your argument is like saying if slots takeout were 16%, reducing the takeout to 8% won't matter because a lot of people just won't play slots. The reality is they make more money at 8% bottom line than they do at 16%.
