Yes, this is the most probable new approach Ontario is taking I guess.Looks like Ontario is targeting scapegoats to get some easy money. Anyone with 440+ CRS would wait for direct ITA in next few draws rather than going with PNP nomination. Only newbies who don't know much about the system will fall for this trap. Very unethical practice from Ontario. Shame on them.
Update:
Or may be they are going to try a new strategy this time.. Probably they will reduce few points on every draw and send invites. For example, If next EE draw lowest CRS is 430, then Ontario might send invites to all those who have CRS 425 and above .. and so on...
