Staking is actually more about liquidity and price stability than it is about price increase. Rarity creates a price increase, but also increases the volatility of it. Having enough to meet exchange needs is the real reason for staking.

But staking pulls tokens off the market and decreases liquidity. And mining happens at the same rate regardless of how much is staked. Am I misunderstanding you?
Yes it pulls coins off, but that's not the liquidity part. Liquidity is a measure of availability vs demand. Staking increases liquidity by adding new coins. Demand lowers it.
