How on earth is hiding "toxic" ?? XD BR is a survival game: running, hiding and avoiding fights are huge parts of the game.
If hiding all the way to win the game seems like the best tactic - then sure go ahead and do it. The fact is, hiding in a terrible position is simply gambling. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If hiding becomes effective, then so does seeking out the hiders, especially ones that are easy to take out hiding in generally bad spots.
You're completely ignoring the "seek" part in a hide and seek game. And if everyone is ignoring that? Well, hide away!
