It's unjust IMO because it is constantly trying to be pushed aside by a minority of players, mainly interests from the USA.
And I think that just is balance. Being three, or four if you consider carpet, main surfaces, the amount of tournaments should be divided accordingly.

I agree. it is NOT a minority surface. It's by far the most common surface in tennis clubs in Europe and South America. If you start playing tennis here, you start on clay. (and as for hobby player like me- we keep playing on clay only, safe winter practise indoors.) I just think cutting back the clay events played is an inbuilt disadvantage for all players growing up in Europe and South America.
