I'm not buff, can see PLO5 appealing to good PLO players:
1. More fish will come into the game as they think 5 cards better to have a look-see with than 4
2. The game is less studied
3. Good players know PLO is about having redraws not just the bare nuts right now, 3 cards supporting a redraw rather than just the 2 must be attractive?

PLO-5 is definitely fun, but it's a crazy game with a lot of luck involved, because other players will call your raises until the end waiting for a draw. You can easily lost all your initial stack very fast the same way you can win 10x your initial stack. PLO-4 has a little more skill involved.

Yes, equities run closer the more hole cards you get.
A good hand will almost be at least the nuts with a redraw to an even better hand.
I guess you can bluff with blockers, like the old naked ace flush bluff, since other players often assume you have the nuts if you raise on an unpaired board with a possible flush out.
