The downside is that the cap itself would stagnate or contract for a short time while this process is happening and the players would hate that despite the fact that they collectively would not lose a single penny.

It's like anything in that a large portion of the players probably have no idea how it all works and they just see that portion of their cheques put aside for escrow and think they are getting screwed. The union does a pretty good job of convincing the players that they are always getting the short end of the stick and are probably using escrow to rally the troops for the cause.
