Either you're too new to know or just don't play during lowpop hours to know what you're talking about.
Do I need to put the
SEND IN AN UN-RECALLABLE SHUTTLE ALSO in bold text there u go. unless babies are assmad you're not gonna clear the server with hard limits set on how long people are gonna be orbiting. I literally only play during lowpop hours and I've seen murderbone. I've also stopped murderbone because I pay attention to the game around me.

That you can't understand why rewarding a player for silently and systematically depopulating the server is bad speaks probably to your preferred playstyle more than anything
I've murderboned maybe 3 times as antag, I generally don't like taking people out of the round unless they threaten the same. Refer to my previous post to Karp for the reasoning behind the ERT but you've already missed plenty of what I've posted. I don't believe killing a bunch of babies who don't even attempt to stop the antag or are even aware he exists to be something people should be punished for. Antags usually do things like turn you horizontal.

Next you'll say "well, if they try to game the automated system then admins can just step in and do it manually"
If you're going to "game the system" by keeping a certain percentage of players alive then you're not really doing anything that would necessitate the system to activate in the first place. If people end up killing themselves out of boredom then here ya go, new round.

As I said before, the last time somebody was banned for this (to my knowledge) was 2016 and they were a persistent and chronic case. Servers /did/ empty out for the better part of 1-2 hours every time the guy rolled antag because they'd do it when no admins were on to tell them not to.
Never said it hasn't been a problem in the past, which is why I offered an idea for a code solution to help relieve the amount of damage the more extreme cases have the potential to cause.
