One big reason is that a fair number of these claims are not associated with Splinterlands or even Hive accounts. It's been almost a year since the air drop ended, but as a refresher it was for assets held across multiple platforms. People had DEC on Steem, had bought cards on WAX, etc. You had to link your external wallet to a Splinterlands account and sign a transaction on that network to claim your air drop. I don't think it's reasonable to put it on Splinterlands to try to track down people who haven't claimed rewards in almost two years, and it doesn't make sense to keep maintaining these records in perpetuity.

Then just burn it, its not the DAO's or SPL's to take...
So you know what accounts they are linked to? And you are able to transfer it to the DAO account, so why not transfer to those linked accounts? What is a "fair number" in each?
You don't have to track them down, just transfer to the linked accounts. I generally support the direction the team is going, I just can't wrap my head around why this proposal would be a good idea.
Can the ones you can track down have their SPS sent to their accounts? These would be the accounts that are not part of your "fair number" comment.
We could, but the question is if we should. The system was designed for accounts to claim their air drops, not for us to deliver it directly to accounts - so, there would be some work involved. The Hive assets are at least a 1-1 match, but for other wallet types it is far murkier. There are both wallets linked to no accounts and ones linked to multiple accounts, as well as the time for us to build out queries to determine what air drops might go to which accounts.
There's also the question of what is the benefit of sending SPS to what are likely dead accounts? We are already planning on making the air drop page accessible again in case anyone missed out on claiming. But, either way the main point of the proposal is to put an end date on the ability to claim these outstanding air drops. I think returning them to the DAO for future use, or simply burning them, at the end date would make more sense than spending the time sending them out to people who couldn't be bothered to claim them in the past two years.
