Masternodes need VPS and making 25% a year and less with more MNs added, staking gets 25% a year no matter what, why bother?
I don't know where you are getting your stats buuutt

so no, they dont make <=25% but if we want to pretend you've done your do diligence you will know this is not where it ends for masternodes, but to just make it obvious
What % is needed? 100%? Or a super majority?
100% is wanted, 95% is probably max that is likely, but the more the better, older wallets actually go against network stability and do a little bit of fighting with the new wallets. Now one release is not a super big deal, its when the same thing happens the next release and the next one where it begins to be a real problem.

oh and again where it was said this is not the end mn percentage
The Masternodes once all the stakers upgrade to the new wallet will increase a bit more but looks like we are also growing in the number of masternodes.
Once we move onto a fully fixed PoSv3 or another algo that is more stable and even go full PoW if we need to to protect the chain,...
Then the Masternodes rewards will be where they should be. At that time expect an increase of near 1000%

oh and then the OP....something that you *wouldnt* have missed if you did DD
* Masternode subsidy : 40% *To be determined
Originally we were planning on mns being a lot less return than what we want now, yes, but thats still a ton more than <=25%
If you want to wait until we have that 1k% increase then you do you but you might not be able to afford a masternode after the announcement that awards have been adjusted, also ironically even if you can afford it, you wont get that 1k% reward increase when you start the node it takes a week to become a trusted node.
