If the league isn’t interested in addressing more impactful issues that undermine fan confidence, like the tax disparity and the fact half of players in the league have NTCs, I don’t see why they’d do something dramatic like substantially change the playoff format to address the problem of some fans of a handful of teams booing wins in the last few games of the season.

Oh I have low confidence that the league will do anything about it.
But it is becoming an increasing issue. Again - look at the Patriots from this past weekend.
There is a better way of doing it. That's my point.
I don't hold much hope that it will ever change materially.
The NHL should also expand the number of teams in the playoffs and they won't even do that.
