Yeah, no, barely playing on PS4 and long ago deleted from PC, but even just observing my kid play I can see it's a positive thing for the game.
It encourages people to just not automatically disconnect when knocked or killed. Because they can come back at any time now as long as crafting and re-spawn beacons are available. The only problem now is training people out of that 'quit to lobby' reflex.
Sorry, but in this case OP is flat out wrong.
Have never seen this functionality used in > 20 hrs of play of pubs lol
