Those extra points come mostly from increasing steals, defence, and isolation. .5/1 is not a very conducive environment to these types of changes.

I think this is exactly right.
I, too, would love to be able to transform myself from a 22/17 into a 30/20, and I have tried occasionally to do that at lower limits; but I think the lower limits are precisely the worst places for this style.
As for those who wonder why we'd be interested, for me it's simply because it sounds like a lot more fun (and ego-gratifying) to be the intimidating force and also get to play a lot more hands. Still, I also believe that the difference between me and the 30/20 player is primarily blind defense (not even blind steals that much).
I suppose what I would really like to be is a 35/25 or a 40/30. Now THAT sounds like a good time, kind of like bungee-jumping (another thing I'm too scared actually to try).
