I am happy to see you are using CGC to grade your collection! Hoping you get some 10's, they have been hard to find so far with the old WOTC cards.

From a biz perspective, the flip side of a house full of cards sitting there waiting to be billed is that you KNOW what your revenue is going to look like for 4-5 months right now if you're CGC/PSA. It's basically locked in, you just can't tap it yet. Obviously that gives them an incentive to get through it quicker, but it also is a disincentive to completely staunch the flow. Customers might be mad, but they sure as hell aren't 'I'm going to stop sending cards' mad. I imagine if offered a couple of years ago as a potential situation, the CGC CEO would have been ecstatic to take the current situation. I imagine their big arguments are around how long this demand stays high like this. If they expand 50% and the submissions drop by 75%, they will not be in good shape. 

They have already been paid for all the cards sitting there. The cards are liabilities, not future revenue. So quite the opposite of what you are saying.

That is true for cards received pre-2/16, but that is no longer the case. They bill at time of grading now, which is a better incentive for them to move faster.
