Everything is working as it's supposed to already. If people want more bandwidth, they can invest in the system or earn it the hard way by posting quality content and getting rewarded in Steem.
I'm not saying that everything needs to change, but there are ways it could be done differently to involve users in the process more and have more transparency.
I agree that it could be done differently... my first thought would be to add a clear message right in the UI for new users informing them they will need to learn and manage their bandwidth until they get more Steem.
@jbgarrison72 See my article here for how that can affect new users. https://steemit.com/steemit/@themanwithnoname/delegated-steem-power
