No its parallel thinking. Why can't you increase exposure/usage while halving? They are two unrelated items. The block halving requires little to no focus, just some minor code changes. I can guarantee the dev's aren't sitting there thinking about halving the coin all day long like we are.
Because halving is not a solution to the problem POT is having. It's a blind attempt at trying to control the coin's dynamics. And with who's suggestion? I see a lot of people here stating that they aren't for the block halving, especially not 4 times a year. Most of these people senior members who have been around since well before the alt explosion of '13. People who have seen changes like this destroy better coins. You don't change horses midstream.
Halving the coin 4 times a year is going to drive miners away unless you have an equally proportionate rise in coin price. The fact that the dev himself said "there aren't enough uses for the coin" just proves my comment of backwards thinking. Stop trying to manipulate supply and demand. Just create demand. Honest demand, not manipulated demand.
