It does, because we could apparently reduce that 20k down to 6k, which lets us scale wind power up even more while looking after the planet even better.

We need to reduce our negative impact on the earth as much as possible. So a simple action which results in a 70% harm reduction is a huge win!

We could, but it might drive up prices of wind turbines a little bit. It's only a little you would say, but there are also other proposals to e.g. do away with forever chemicals in some components of wind turbines. If you follow all of them, eventually wind turbines cease to be cheaper than conventional energy.
