There is a lot of ground between VIP tours --- which cost thousands of dollars, and which require you to include a cast member in your family touring on your vacation --- and no ability to pay extra to skip or at least reduce some lines. I can't afford VIP tours --- certainly not everyday! --- and I don't think I would enjoy them anyway. But I am willing to pay extra to get more fastpasses (or otherwise get on more rides with fewer or shorter lines). We have done EMM and DAH for just that reason, and have even done the Club Level Fastpass program, though I'm not sure that one is worth the cost.
Before the pandemic, the ability to get extra fastpasses through the "refresh" method was a godsend for those of us who got pretty good at it, though it was not always effective for large groups, the most desired rides, or on very busy days. I suspect, however, that Disney will take this opportunity to close that loophole. If they do, they will have to replace it with something else. Many of us who love Disney World would simply stop going if there were no cost-effective way to avoid having to wait 30-45 minutes for any halfway decent ride, and 1-3 hours for the best rides. That would not be a fun vacation for my family. A sensibly priced paid fastpass program could fill the void. I would be willing to let Disney milk more money out of me, if it meant that we could ride more and wait less, and it didn't cost hundreds of dollars per person, per day. The trick is finding the right model and price point. Too low a price and it won't actually reduce the waits enough. Too high a price and it won't be affordable to anyone but the VIPs.
