That way users can scale, choose, without much thinking.
This same techinque works everywhere, for example MMO games. You have availability visible and choose servers according to it.
This would fix scaling partially without much technical changes.
Can confirm!
Also use it for years and it is simple and does the job perfectly.
Never had problems.
