My guess (which could be way off) is that NH doesn't actually sink much money. They offer free transport for persons above fame 45, which encompasses both neutrals and the nation-aligned persons (in that land). I could bet that the Tryker NH gets most used, because it saves people the trouble of swimming to Avendale/Loria. In the desert you can use NH once and then simply use your tps, I don't see the matis cities to be visited a lot by non-citizens, same for zorai cities.
Given this state of affairs, I *could* understand why nations act benevolently towards those who donate products to the local franchise - it's a boon that ends up helping the already well-regarded citizens and neutrals.
