Must move games should be implemented.
For arguments sake, say there are two poker sites, with the same funds for marketing and have managers(and others that are involved in running the site) of the same level of competence. If one offered a "must move" system and one didnt (i.e like most current sites), initially, you may get a small number of regs that give that site a go, but after a while, they will move back to the other site. Because, you can choose which recreational players to play with and thus is more +ev. The recreational players in turn will now choose not to play on the "must move" site, as there isnt the same depth of games open for them due to the lack of regs.
Also, i dont think the demand for "must move" and other PG's ideas are anywhere near as high as what is being made out (probably because those who do want it are posting more, as they probably care more about the topic). Because if it were, you wouldnt be getting all those high "sitting out" numbers that currently exist.
In addition, you cant force people to play obv as it isnt a matter of morality or law. What this means is that those who create poker sites can either choose to force players to play or not. And it looks like those who do force players to play will not have a succesful business becuase someone else will quite happily offer games where ppl are forced to play (the current status quo of games).
