And considering that champion releases are now (tentatively) going to be every 3-4 weeks, everyone should have enough IP for the 7800 purchase. This isn't necessarily true, a larger initial cost of a champion reduces the amount of players willing and able to spend the higher amount of influence points, making the unchanged alternative seem more reasonable for the first week, causing more players to purchase the champion(or their skin bundle) via Riot points.

They don't have to directly jack up the price of Riot points, in fact that would most likely drive away people from using Riot points, as they either become unwilling or unable to pay for the higher price.

I don't really see the greed here either, just reasonability towards people who are patient, or do not wish to purchase him right away.
