Think about it. In a FPPS payout scheme, you get paid on a set schedule, whether or not the pool finds a block, just based on the average block-luck. That means the pool has to keep reserves so they can pay miners when they have a streak of bad luck.

In other words, the pool is taking on a risk by making payouts regardless of whether they find a block, and you end up subsidizing that risk as a miner by receiving less over time than you would have by going with OCEAN (npub1qtv…7dze), but you get the benefit of a more predictable payout schedule.
