My argument before was simply that we have by far a large enough supply of
people who don't want travel sponsorship, so that there's no need to
introduce extra problems (in which I include the incorrect perception of
unfairness) by getting people who want it to vote on who gets it.

There might be a problem on this side if you expect, say, 90% of attendees
to be getting travel sponsorship.  But since I expect the proportion to be
fairly low (and to stay that way for the foreseeable future), I don't see a
real issue compared to the risks on the other side.
