Most of your post made sense to me, but this piece did not.
Were you thinking that fast hikers always got all the available camping spots? That may have been partly true for the most popular and crowded destinations on the most popular weekends of the year, where it could be like the Oklahoma Land Rush on Labor Day weekend, but pretty much all the forum participants here at OregonHikers.org have repeatedly said that they'd have been fine with expanding permits to cover the tiny handful of trails/destinations these limits would have sensibly been applied to, with Green Lakes being the most conspicuous candidate.
As far as I can see, the current system greatly favors any hikers who have a fast internet connection and can nab one of those permits in the first 20 seconds after they are opened for reservation. This doesn't strike me as an especially big improvement, especially since the current system isn't even tied to campsites, but trailheads, so that a fit and fast hiker could start early and hike rapidly from a more distant trailhead and still ace out all the slow hikers for campsites at Green Lakes.
If anyone is the most favored by this system, it's hikers like me, who has the flexibility to start mid-week at a less popular trailhead, hike to a popular area, then camp for as long as I like, staking out my campsite in advance and thumbing my nose at the fit and fast hiker who rushes in on Friday evening looking for a place to pitch a tent. Each overnight permit is good for 14 days and up to 12 people, no matter what day or trailhead you start on.
