That's exactly it. SE are not mind-readers. They can't know whether the person who filled out the application form did it for the lols or not. They can't know whether someone who went inactive doesn't care about ARR or not - they could simply have disliked 1.0 enough but very interested in what ARR has to offer. Doesn't make them any less a fan, because if you really do hate a game, why play it? So inactive players does not necessarily mean they are not interested.

SE is in a tough spot, because they have to choose between whether to conform to one segment of their POTENTIAL customerbase or not. In this case, I think they went with the better choice, to not discriminate against anyone asides from the condition that they fill in the alpha application and meet the requirements as such.
