A question of morality.

No financial aid needed is different - I think it is generally greedy to apply to all those schools just to “see where I can get in”. The people you hurt most would be your high school classmates who might not get accepted because you were. I can see some situations where you might have 2 schools that were very close, and you applied early to one and RD to the other, but not 8 schools. After all, I think we are going to see that SCEA will gradually offer less and less of a “bump” to students, especially the full payers with no hooks. The kids with hooks will have continue to have an advantage, and low income kids (look at Harvard) may develop an advantage.
