It might simply come down to the fact that UF and UT-Austin may end up like UVa and Berkeley in that admission isn't guaranteed to everyone from that state who applies.

Exactly.
I'm sorry, but I don't see any problem with the Top 10% rule. So some kids gets good grades and get left off their school's top 10%, so what? Not everyone can be in the Top 10%.
The people that should be blamed for how UT enrollment is today are the people in charge of budgeting the money to the schools. If the other UT schools could get enough funding, then maybe they might be a little bit more desirable to students. But until that happens, UT is going to be overcrowded.
Now lawmakers wanna lower the number of top 10% students---instead of it making up about 85% of UT's enrollemnt, then wanna make it something like 50% (or 15% can't really recall the number). Once they do that, there are gonna be people complaining that their kid can't get in.
