I love the theory. But, unfortunately, I just don't think there are enough players consistently playing online matches to make lobbies viable. I prefer SIM, and I can't help but think that lobby would be dead if people could freely choose any of the other difficulties. I feel confident the SIM matches I get now are people playing their 2nd, or even 3rd difficulty choice. You mention your preferred choice is TOUR. How do you know for sure the vast majority of players still here playing online matches don't prefer PRO mode? Because if they do, you'll sit in a TOUR lobby timing out waiting on matches. I am like you in one respect. I'll turn the game off if my only choice is PRO mode.

Having all the lobby options available would eventually tell you what's the most popular and the others will either stay empty or they can delete them. This might bring people back knowing their preferred mode is there every day. I for one do what the OP says, check the schedule for today and tomorrow and decide if I want to stay, go play some non-EA game or go back to work. I posted it before - they need to get rid of the crappy themes which only limit what's available and set up AM/Tour/Sim areas with Stroke/Match/Alt Shot/BB, etc inside of them with random everything to include tees. . This might even encourage a rational ranking system, which for "competitive" play is essential. That's just another reason I'm no longer invested in the game since there's no absolute standings to base your play against others. They also need fix the boot issue. The standings in stroke are geared towards large lobbie yet you stay because there's 8 - 10 people then get sent back to the lobby on launch or get into the game with 4-5 players. I don't need that for a match that can take close to 30 minutes.
