Totally different utilities and user cases.
HP applies to governance and influence on the blockchain. HBD has nothing to do with that. Tying it is would only devalue one against the other.
With options comes choices. People will need to choose between getting the return in HBD versus having influence on chain by scooping up HIVE and powering it up.
We all have different motives and needs. Hence the more options will cater to a wider cross section.
It is just like the Hive savings versus the bond, liquidity or return: people get to make that choice but there is a trade off.

Yup I am aware of this:
I am picturing (in this thought experiment) some of the interest from the bond being distributed as Hive Power.
I get where you are going with this. Say give an option like a post, but the option would be 50/50 HBD/HP or 100% HBD instead of a post where it’s the other way around.
Yeah something like that. Maybe even use the hbd.stabilizer during the conversion process.
