I'm not sure someone's passion project in a game-jam constitutes trying to force it into the game!
It's a legit space and many PvPers are passionate about it, hence it being explored in game jam.
If this leads to a solution for it that more people are on board with, then it's also A-OK to move forward IMO, just because it has failed multiple times before doesn't mean a solution can't be identified that solves the issues people had with it. This may be it, it may not, running a survey on these just helps us explore the space too for all these ideas.
