The political problem is that some people would be charged more; regression to the mean suggests that those people would be the ones who currently pay the least. The people who pay the least are the people who use the least power.
Everything you say is true, but your implied argument is flawed (you are implicitly making an “all A are B, all C are B, therefore all A are C” argument). If we had a fixed fee, and were discussing the possibility of eliminating it, your argument would apply just as well.
