Some people like collecting. Some people have very diverse tastes. Some people might be hoping that in a few years that skin is worth something. Some people prefer skins that cover more. Some people like to have their bases covered. There is this other game where you originally could only put one copy of an item on a gryff at a time and you couldn't move items out of bounds. There was this absolutely gorgeous set of boulders that were way too large because the entire thing had to be visible. So, I got some sets, and went on. Then, the site got some updates so that you could mirror items, you could move items out of bounds (so you could make only a part of the item visible) AND you could put multiple copies of a single item on a gryff. I have been regretting my decision not to get more of those boulders ever since :P Fortunately the site does have ways to get 'retired' items, though it isn't reliable, and a recent update brought shops where nearly every single item on site can be found, though with a restocking feature. While FR is obviously not going to do this, there might be updates in the future that make skins people previously went 'ehh' on much more useful.
So, it all depends. Some people just might have a use for every single skin, because they like keeping their dragons 'fresh' and changing the skins every so often, so they want as many different skins of each pose as possible.
I also feel that not rethinking the cost of the skins, especially when more are added, could result in the treasure sink being less effective as people not only buy less skins as they normally would have, but just give up altogether on buying skins because they just can't keep up with getting all they want.
(plus, there is also the idea that not all festivals are equal. There have been some festivals where I have barely found a single skin I wanted, others I wanted nearly every single skin released that fest.)
