I don't see it that way. There are plenty of nomics that have played for extended periods of time with no payment for being the author of a proposal.
Gamifying Proposal-passing like that gamifies both Proposal-making and Proposal-voting. This is especially the case with Radiance where having one person gain 4 Radiance could mean that everyone else "loses" up to 49 Radiance; so control of other players' Radiance seems especially important if you're in the race for Radiance, or if you know that it's likely to be important for others. Proposals aren't just about improving the game anymore.
