I’m still trying to put the pieces together on this one and have a few more stones to turn over.

Some things are certain:
1) this is only a deferral of the increase, the developer won’t pay it again, so an increase will come again next year.
2) next year there will be an outcry over the increase and people will expect the same or greater contribution by the developer again.
3) no matter what the developer does, nothing is ever good enough for some people, as is evident by many of the posts on this thread and elsewhere.
It’s kind of like when they sent out those stimulus checks during the Covid era. People thought it would never end. Much like a dependency. So your #2 comment makes perfect sense and my guess ToTV will be the ‘beneficiary’ of that outcry!
