Since it was based on ounces sold, my initial thought was it would balance incentives of watering down the actual formula over time.

You're smart to think of how it could be gamified.

However, the product is tightly regulated and has stiff competition. The brand name is a huge driver of sales. Anything that could impair the brand image, like dilution of product, would cause more long-term value destruction.
