The only leave penalty this game ever had is in ranked. Where there should be a leave penalty. In unranked trios or ltms like wildcard... not needed.
And while I agree with you in principle about the penalty in ranked, I have to add this: Don't believe for one minute that a player who stays in the match to avoid the penalty is somehow a credible and committed squadmate. Most players who would have quit, would have done so because something happened in the match that caused them to be done with the match. Forcing them to stay doesn't motivate them to take on the cheater who just killed them, or to grab the banner of a dead teammate who soloed off to the other side of the map, or etc. etc. etc. A lot of the time people "stay" in the match because "penalty" if they don't, but they loiter, do nothing, fly out of the circle on respawn, you name it. There are so many counter productive behaviors an unmotivated player can indulge in. And we haven't even got to the most basic "put down controller and walk away." Which seems to happen less. There used to be an afk penalty. Is there still? That would explain it if there is. At any rate, I'm glad for you if you don't see a lot of these kinds of squadmates. I don't see a lot of them anymore, but then I don't play a lot of ranked. Anymore. It's a sewer. With or without quitters.
Nope they added it a couple seasons in and was in for a while. You are not a week one player.
They had abandoned penalty for a long time in base game and there are plenty of old reddit posts about people complaining about it. You lack logical thinking.
