Why are so many seasoned players level 50+ stopping to play quit and uninstall?

I don’t complete a lot of the tournaments to the last day and I certainly do not rebuy back in these days. However, I don’t blame a lack of randomness for this. I remember a while back that SG extended the tournaments an extra day while keeping the number of strikes against you the same. If you want to point to a money-grab in this feature through forcing more re-buys, then that’s definitely the one to focus on (but it happened so long ago).

FWIW, the link Petri posted there no longer works, but this one does:
