I think I would like to do the Bibbulum Track instead.

Clearly you are in the hard core group and as hypothesised earlier, a group that may not be of interest to the govt and fund allocation.
I'd say that there really isn't an 'optimal enjoyment' point as it varies wildly with the individual. For the govt/departments, it really is a mix of interests and objectives. Some for high volume tourism while others for conservation, which probably benefit the loners best. A halo effect.
