And if people had just voluntarily waited on those "extremely rare" occasions when they needed to, they wouldn't be forced to wait all the time now.

Yes it's a rough solution to the problem. But the rewards are only there because of that inconvenience.

We had our chance with the high-reward small-chance-of-having-to-wait roulette, and people blew it.

On the specific suggestion of voting for it (which has been discussed many times before) it may not be possible in the programming, and people would still be able to identify the new player in an "anonymous" voting system.
