I've been in games like this myself and can relate. Frustrating! I'm not sure if the developers want to implement anything that makes players feel "punished" for leaving the game if the option is available. There is currently an incentive of 5% bonus to survival time XP while joining games with friend(s), so definitely take advantage of that when you can by friend requesting players you enjoyed playing with.

We have a Friend A Squad board for those looking to group up with others too. Check it out!

Are there any suggestions you have in mind for encouraging players to stay alive to be revived/dropped back in aside from giving them temporary cooldowns before joining their next game?

I think a 5 min (stackable) cool down should be added everytime you leave a match before it starts... stackable as it will be 10 mins if you do it twice withen a hour then 15 mins if you do it 3 times in a hour.. then the timer resets every week. Everyone wins. The punishment is small if you suddenly have something to do its not a big deal, but if someone is constantly leaving the cool down will be 5 mins first time, 10 mins 2nd time, 15 the 3rd time. For people who leave mid game I there there shouldn't be a punishment its casual.
