And if you do gamble it up, and manage to donk up a big stack you most likely had to invest several rebuys and now won't even breakeven with a min cash. As I said, I guess I just don't like the structure, maybe it's just preference I dunno.
You're missing a few things here though.
Donks who donk it up don't often have big stacks at end of rebuy period but even if they do, they're donks (I like when donks have chips ).

Also (especially in a smaller filed rebuy) those chips the donks are donkin' it up with are still on the table. So you lose a few.. consider it a loan.

Also, a 'min-cash' in a rebuy is often 6x the size of an initial buyin. (check on lobbys 'completed games' to see what I'm talking about.. ie. MicroMill today $3r/a first itm wsa $17.32. Compare that with a Stars $3 freezeout where they're getting $3.74 or something. It's a big difference!
