I don't think there should be a need to a give an explanation for why you want a refund before the end of late reg.
50% of starting stack is worth more than 50% of your starting ICM-EV.
So the other players are getting some free ICM-EV when you refund, so there is no reason for them to complain.

Simple simulation: 10 player tournament where starting ICM-EV is $10.
You are down to 50% of starting stack and your ICM-EV is now $5.24.
So by getting a 50% refund you are effectively paying a 5% penalty in this example.
