You're forgetting about the ability of the #1 seed to pick others from the top eight; that alone is quite a reward. I rarely see a regional where the #1 or #2 alliance doesn't end up choosing someone further down the line.
The one-decline rule gives the #1 seed yet another reward; the ability to break up an alliance between the #2 seed and another top eight team. Overall, I think the #1 seed gets enough advantages as is.
