Without confidence speculative markets crumble; I have no doubt that prices on a number of older cards that are primarily driven by speculation would take a hit if Wizards announced an end to the reserved list policy.

But why should Wizards care about that, or anyone else for that matter? The thing about gambling on prices is that it's gambling. This whole "Why should people be given something for free" line of talk with very somber, serious faces and grave nodding of head is pretty hilarious given who's actually asking for a handout here. Hint: it's not the people saying that Wizards should reprint their own product to their own profit.
If it was in their best interest to abolish the reserve list, without long term repercussions, they would have done so.

A handout is exactly what you are asking for.
