This article from Esquire is mostly about the metaphor of paying-to-cut line plans at water and amusement parks as they relate to American politics, but as a student of the history of Disneyland’s FastPass plan, I can say that the author touches obliquely on the reasons why Disneyland took out the Pirates of the Caribbean FastPass: lines are good,  at some point you have to wait in them, and FastPass just made all of them that much longer.
