No, they don't, those 7 other players are not making up any difference. If each DPS needs to do 4400 personal DPS in order to safely clear the encounter's DPS requirements and 3 of those DPS do 5500 and 1 does 4400. Where are they making up the difference? Could that 1 DPS improve and get to 5500 like the rest? Sure, but why would you kick that player when they are doing their fair share of the DPS requirements burden?

Not to mention, your scenario doesn't really work because if another player can slot in and suddenly you have a clear, damage was the issue.

That wasn't my scenario though. Conversely, if the group slots another player and they still don't clear then the damage was not the issue, despite that player before doing their fair share of the DPS.
