Airdrops put instant downward pressure on token price. In my mind, you only airdrop someone if you think there's a good chance you can get them to bring more value to the network. I can't think of a way to make an airdrop a positive net gain for the network, and even if I could there's an extremely high chance that the brass would disagree and it would never be enacted.

Ironically enough I think Hive is too decentralized for an airdrop to be possible. Airdrops are super useful when one entity has unilateral control of the network. In our case, whales are going to want a piece of the airdrop, which is wholly counter productive.

wouldn't the vast majority of that airdrop go to the top 10-15% of hive owners making the rich even richer?

exactly... the only way would be to have a smart way to increase decentralization. Super high chance the huge stake holders would not approve it because they'd get no airdrop.
