The 100% power down time is 13 weeks in steemit and I think for this, people dont wanna invest for that long time. Max 4 weeks will encourage them to invest more money in it. This is my personal opinion about this.
Alao, MET is gonna create a tyfoon soon, so we better evolve to it and make sure that both authors and curators will be benefited by it.
stay well and keep steeming.

The idea is to create stability, not to just "pump it up". The 3-month limitation certainly limits the amount people put in, but limiting the amount people pull out is also a good thing. It's not about the value of the currency but about its stability. What you're asking is to destabilise it in order to pump it up.
I'm personally not sure how decreasing the powerdown period would effect investors but I can see your point. Maybe have options that if you choose a faster powerdown you get less rewards from inflation/curation.
I didn't understand the last part of your comment.
That's one thing I wanted to propose. If you lock down your Steem and make a hard-coded smart-contract promise to not power down for, say, 1 month or more, you should be able to enter some kind of "ultra mode" where your stake is worth more.
How about earning a little interest on what you keep locked in Steem Power.... like a CD
