I agree. People are buying Rivera, knowing what the restrictions are and have decided, like you and I did, that it was worth owning,
Anyone who wants to be able to stay there with regularity, even with google searching, will still buy there. Now, it may mean they buy less and just the minimum and then supplement with resale to have more points to trade to L14,
IMO, people choosing not to buy at Rivera due to resale restrictions are people who are not sold on the resort, or already have eligible points to use at 7 months and don’t need a contract with restrictions.
But, someone who sees not only a RIVera and future resorts as important, will continue to buy points there.
And, if Disney through BVTC decided to change the booking window for different owners...as indicated in the new language with Rivera contracts..it could impact sales.
