Professor Metcalf has asked me to reply on his behalf. The MAC report related to a specific economic question. It also acknowledged that there are moral, social and legal dimensions to family migration. The MAC is an advisory body only. The Government is free to decide whether or not to implement the range set out by the MAC, and to date there has been no announcement of a decision...

so that is some good news, that maybe it might not be implemented and that there is other factors.. not just economics .
Mac advises the gov on job shortages and i think most of the time the gov implements those recommendations, but as you've said other factors moral, social and legal need to be looked at, so its not so straight forward.
