The, as far as I can see, main reason for not using the meter is to make
costs of long journeys outside the city cheaper than they would be on the
meter and predictable at the outset. Imagine the meter rate for a trip
from
Cambridge to Heathrow for example!

No, the main reason for not using the meter, in Milton Keynes, is to
defraud drunk passengers by overcharging them.

That's the same reason it is often not used in other countries, too.

where youy replace drunk by tourist
