Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Another reason is the bandwidth costs of exit node operators. This is an
 area that hopefully this change can offer relief since it shifts traffic
 from exit nodes to relay servers, reducing exit node operation costs along
 with it. exit node bandwidth is rare, compared to overall network
 bandwidth available.
