So that he has to pay to put us in a spot like this. This hand plays much easier postflop with position.

Sorry, I still don't get it.

We're paying more money to play in marginal spots when it doesn't change the chances at all of how often we'll be in those marginal spots.

It being a hard position to be in means we want smaller pots surely, not larger? We're paying somebody to get into spots where he can more easily put us to tough decisions?
