FAA to be phasing out "position and hold" in the US

I just received an email from my FBO, who received word from ATC at our
class C airport, that the FAA is phasing out the "position and hold"
instruction "to try to curb the runway incursions and controller errors."
Hm, I bet a more effective anti-incursion strategy would be to keep using
position-and-hold but require an explicit clearance to taxi across any
runway.
You've always needed an explicit clearance to taxi across runways.
How does that solve position-and-hold issues?
