Weird but it incentivizes kicking into the land zone forcing a return.
Also the rule changes onside kicks, making them almost useless. Only allowed in the 4th quarter when you are trailing. And you have to declare your intent to onside kick it.

I mean, they're already almost useless right now in the NFL. 5.2% last year.

They should move to a 4th and 30 scenario for the "onside kick".

Why not just dump special teams altogether and start at the 25?

This is weird, but will likely bring kickoff returns back to the game. The hip

not exactly the same, IIRC the NFL will require two KRs not the just one the XFL has

According to the linked post, you're correct, but you get the gist of it here thanks to the XFL.

How do they handle the onside kick in that situation?

This move is the opposite of scrapping the kickoff; this causes MORE kickoff returns
