Block75 is not exponential scaling. It's true the max theoretical increase in the first year would be 7x, but the next year would be a max of 2x, and the next could only increase by 50% and so on.

With those limits there's very little reason to not simply have a fixed schedule. Blocks are likely to all be full in the future anyway, with a real fee market, and the idea that miners will be held back on block sizes for worry about propagation delay is a myth, and even if it were true it would favor collective pooling a lot, which would be a very bad thing.
