Pretty ridiculous take there.
Another drawback to not making it binding is that you now in most situations give the skipped player a freeroll on whether they want the OOT to be binding or not.
Action on me, you act out of turn, someone says I haven't acted yet. If I don't want your action binding, I can now act as desired. If I do want your action to stand, I can say "I checked already" and now it is binding. Now I get my free check-raise anyway.
Either way, other people are harmed by players acting out of turn. The only way to stop OOT action as an angle is to make it binding.
