Latam and Aerolineas Argentinas issued a statement in which they enabled travel agencies to collect their tickets in foreign currency so as not to be reached by the PAIS tax. The ticket must be issued in dollars and the payment also in dollars.

This way of operating requires the buyer to pay in USD (the currency in which the ticket is issued) with cash or Debit card. This indirectly means, the buyer has USD/will get USD from the market, which is expensive as well.
This is in my humble understanding. Eager to know more though.

Yes, it is interesting for people who already have US Dollars (either exchanged before the cepo or brought from abroad).

There´s the catch. If you use USD from your pockets, the AFIP will want to know where they came from if they were not declared before.
