- SB sucks for seeding servers during the ramp up to peak hours
- SB sucks for consolidating servers as you ramp down after peak hours.
- SB enables team/clan stacking. It allows sweats to server hop until they find an 'easy' server.
- In the SB/MM hybrid scenario the MM players will tend to get the bad maps. Hello Hourglass.
- Third parties can mine industry data from the server browser. Player counts. What modes are popular. That sort of industry data is big $$$. EA is likely reluctant to give it away for free.
- Persistent servers don't allow progression between matches. (I recall this being an issue on BFV. And I recall this item also being brought up during one of the 2042 podcasts).
- SB makes it easier for people to play out of region on a bad connection.

There are several potential reasons why Battlefield 2042 may only have one map per season, although the exact reason is not clear as it has not been officially confirmed by the game developers, DICE.
One possible reason is that creating high-quality, detailed maps takes a lot of time and resources. By releasing one map per season, DICE may be able to focus their efforts on creating a single, polished map that players will thoroughly enjoy, rather than spreading their resources too thin across multiple maps.
Another reason could be to encourage players to fully explore and engage with each new map as it is released, rather than quickly moving on to the next one. By giving players more time to play and master each map, they may become more invested in the game and its community, which could lead to a more dedicated player base.
Additionally, releasing one map per season may help to build anticipation and excitement among players, as they eagerly await the next map release and what new gameplay experiences it may bring. This approach has been successfully used by other popular games, such as Fortnite, which releases new content on a regular schedule to keep players engaged and interested.
Overall, there could be several reasons why Battlefield 2042 may only have one map per season, and it is ultimately up to DICE to decide what approach they believe is best for their game and its players.
