We must live in an abusive society.
When the first answer to making people play is punish them if they don't. In a game meant to be fun, no less.
It's all about the incentives, certainly if you are also going to inflict a penalty, but you don't even need a penalty. Nobody has to be your team mate or play your game, but they will if there is something in it for themselves.
I'm sure this is a test, and they were probably nervous considering Arena (unfounded) hate. People need benefits to unlock in Control, and that will help. And, sure, you'll hear screaming like, "WHY DO YOU MAKE ME PLAY CUNTROOOOLLL! wwaaahhHHHH!!" But whining is par for the course these days. If you are playing a game for the incentive, then obviously you want to play it.
More benefits, more players. Especially in a for fun video game.
