Yes, this ensures a limited supply with PoW, right?

I assume you can't remove real-world costs in the case of PoS, but yes I can see how the real-world costs will be much, much lower.

Are you saying that there is a good reason to keep those real-world costs higher? (pardon my ignorance, I haven't looked into the principle you describe here before).
