Last year, championships was a 400 team event, and only a small handful of them got in based on the lottery system. I assumed that a large majority of the extra 200 spots this year would come from the waitlist.

However, I now realize that this is an incredibly flawed assumption because of the reasons you listed above. Regardless, FIRST appears to be attempting to grow the waitlist spots available for championships, and I would very much prefer this alternative to more waitlist spots.
