Some people buy their stuff early in event because they can, even when they clearly know these items will become cheaper at the end of event with more supply. So I think the same applies to the wings. They know there's a risk that these items may drop more often from locks or (worse more through store sales) but they still bought it early in event.
You don't know this for sure re decrease in plat sale/consumption. They still have the option to get plats and pop open crates for the tradeable ones and sell.
