You're spot on that for the ladies MFC is often a bad deal compared to other venues, but as time goes on, MFC and those like it, may be where most of the surfers seeking live interactive cams go much like tubes are today for those seeking pics and videos.
Globalization affects the adult business as much as it does mainstream business. $10 for an hour for a U.S. based performer isn't even worth the bother, but for performers in other countries, such as the Philippines, that's plenty enough to make it worthwhile.
Globalization is the race to the bottom to free ... yes, to free!
Recall about a year ago a major U.K. airline literally asked its employees to work for free, and many of them actually did! Crazy, but that's where globalization leads. Another example is Amazon's Turk - Slashdot did an article a few days ago regarding how some tasks amounted to an hourly rate of just pennies and yet plenty of people were still willing to do them.
Top-notch performers will have a following anywhere and command top-dollar, but run-of-the-mill ones will likely either need to adapt to working harder and lower income, like most surfers have, or diversify into some other things.
