the cost is not much of a factor to most people.
Maybe not to people with big incomes, and those that have more than they know what to do with, but there are LOTS of us old Far-- out here that are existing on fixed incomes, and would just like to better enjoy our remaining years. Many of us really like to spend an afternoon drowning worms outside our campsite, but can't afford to pay double or triple fees for one or two afternoons in each state we travel. A non-resident two or three day permit can and usually does cost more than a waterside campsite. So, all we can do is sit there in the shade without a fishing pole, and thumb our noses at all those that wish they had our site to fish from. A few years ago, I don't know if they still do, if you were a registered camper in a Texas state park with a lake, you could fish from the bank without a license.
