I agree that when an opponent rage quits due to a lack of sportsmanship after conceding a goal or two in H2H, there should be consequences. It could probably be detected in game. If EA could implement logic to recognise such behaviour and punish those sore losers, it would be a massive improvement and a deterrent.
But not all drops are caused by the opponent rage quitting, though. There will be some "genuine" dropouts outside of the players control, whether it’s a random network issue or the ongoing latency problems affecting H2H these days. So, hypothetically, if your phone or FCM crashed, your device battery died, or your internet dropped out and you lost connection to the server, you’d probably be the one complaining that it’s unfair to be punished for something outside your control.
There are always two sides to this. Furthermore, when an opponent simply rage quits, it actually benefits the player who stays connected in H2H, since you can still score a few easy goals as AI is extremely predictable when defending. You can basically put your phone down like you would watching MM and enjoy an easy win.
