While I could be wrong, my guess is that the number of people that actually exploit low-cost or free transfers is relatively minor compared to the vast majority of good faith customers. I check a few used-plugin posts daily, including Kvraudio, and considering the size of the market, there are usually relatively a low number of people newly listing used plugins for sale. For me, I am less likely to buy from a company that has high transfer fees (e.g., 20% of the current price) or don't allow transfers period, particularly if the plugins I am interested in are on the more expensive side. I am probably not alone, which means loss of revenue for the company.

I actual wonder whether the concern is more about creating opportunities that hackers can more easily exploit?!?

Could you please check the date on threads you respond to, this is from 2019, so the policy has been in place for quite some time now, and anyone with an issue with the change has had quite a while to adjust.
my other modular synth is a bugbrand

Question:
It's the buyer who will have to pay $20 AFTER the license transfer on its own. The seller doesn't have to pay anything right?
I'm asking because I never bought 2nd hand PA plugins and I can't see the option to pay that fee anywhere on their website.

Yes, the buyer needs to pay fees after the transfer before he can use it.
