If your process is backlogged such that you cannot handle all traffic in a cycle (covering peak and trough), refusing new traffic won't help and will only add to the backlog.

It does allow application of people who are stuck in the pipeline to be cleared faster.Granting new H1-Bs is not the only thing that USCIS does.

Yes, and puts them right back in the same situation this time next year. The total amount of work remains unchanged.
