Commentary for Ketubot 94:7

מהו דתימא מיכל לא נכלינהו אנוחי ננחינהו דאם כן מימנע ולא פריק קמ"ל דהא עדיפא זימנין דלא מלו ופריק לה מדידיה

What might you have said? [That a husband] must not consume the usufruct but should rather leave it, since otherwise, he might refrain from ransoming her, thus it teaches us that that was preferable, for sometimes [the proceeds of the usufruct] might not suffice and he would have to ransom her at his own expense.
