You are conflating two issues. Yes increasing the threshold will increase the 'float', but the threshold increase is needed for other reasons. Offering a £10 regular top up option would increase transaction fees with the possibility that in some cases people would trigger two top ups in one day.
I accept it is a balancing act. However they have gained a bigger cash float and since the number of people who leave this for a long time (forever?) will likely remain the same TFL have generated cash.
