I don't think many 1/2nl or 2/5 nl players are Going to show up to play 4 handed tables regardless of how rake is collected. But if they tried to go to time rake for those games, esp 1/2, then no one would play. That level of rec player just doesnt "get" the pros and cons of time rake, and instead usually resist they idea of paying rake if they dont win a pot or dont stay the entire half hour. Its almost like a cultural difference from higher limit players.
And I dont think any room will open if the only people they can attract are 5/10 nl players. Even pre virus times, the busiest and biggest room in the Tampa area, for example, only had 1 5/10 nl game going most days.
