"The opponents to this scheme all rely on pilots being totally unprepared for flight, and being dishonest "cowboys" who want nothing more than to rip-off poor airports in the most cavalier fashion they can."
I disagree. I fully accept that things can and do go wrong, even for the most prepared pilots, but why should someone else pick up the tab?
Nothing comes for free. If you use a facility, what's wrong with paying for it?
I also know for a fact that there ARE pilots out there who are cowboys who haven't done any proper planning since their NFT. Sadly, IMHO, they're not a small minority. Whatever frequency you're working this weekend, you'll almost certainly encounter one or more of them!!

Interesting thought...could this scheme actually encourage the dreaded press on-itis?
