Hello ZmnSCPxj,

To be more precise, the value of the UTXO is severaly damaged that it is governed by rules of a de-facto side chain with different rules.
Therefore its value to those renting it from the advertizer is just that of the advertizement, which is not neccesarily following the opportunity cost.

The covenant supported temporary access is transitive, therefore anyone who is in temporary control of an UTXO can recover its cost by sub-renting.
The opportunity (riskless) interest provides a baseline of value on top of which you may have utility that is the advertizement.

Regards,

Tamas Blummer
