1) They provide money upfront equal to a few years' membership
2) They provide a more solid userbase. Permanent members are less likely to move to a competitor - and in this game, userbase is crucial.

1) The ones who bought theirs provided money up front equal to a few year's membership, but they get more than any paid account alone, and they get it indefinitely. It's not like we're enticing people to buy permanent accounts at the moment, so like the OP says, why give them more at this time? Additionally, they do not have less icons than they were promised when they got the account; instead, the number of icons available to them grows at a slight but steady rate.
2) If they're less likely to move to a competitor, why would they need 500 icons to have them stay? See above, where they already get more features than any other account anyway. What other competitor is going to offer more icons without compromising on other features? The biggest competitors don't attract LJ users because they have more icons.

What in the world do you need 500 icons for?! I'm barely using 1/5 of that (or 1/2 of my allotment) and don't intend to use more.

I don't support an increase to 500, but I do get the request. If you're not into icons for all occasions, you'll never understand why some people are. End of story.
