[2021] Why do people leave wipeout matches instead of voting for another map?

I think that the main reason is bad UI

• The map voting screen wasn't the main post-match screen (it's fixed now). People got used not to vote for the map because it required one more click. Some might even not know that voting is possible. People are lazy.
• The "Leave match" button is placed in the bottom right corner. That's the place where the positive action is expected to be placed ("next", "accept", "play", etc). That's how normally user interfaces are designed. So user press that button because it seems natural. So basically the UI tells the user that the "leave match" is the action they are expected to perform in order to continue.
• The match doesn't start immediately after the voting is over. Even if all players voted then the timer keeps going. This doesn't encourage people to stay. People don't like waiting.

Oh, I haven't played in a while. It used to work differently in the past.
