Can there please be a new feature that gives squad lead to either an outfit member, friend, or highest ranked player if the current squad lead crashes or logs out?
I think there should be other changes swell to get rid of garbage squads, I see so many new players wasting away in abandoned squads it quite sad.

If your squad is outfit hosted (it's a checkbox you can select in the squad pane,) it passes lead to other outfit members when one is disconnected. Beyond that, when we get some free time maybe we can look into exactly what the auto-sorting system is for passing leader.
EDIT: Welp, I feel dumb. Outfit hosted was a feature we started development on, but never finished.
I typically run Open squads in my platoons, and don't limit it to Outfit only (although the majority of players come in from my outfit).
It really isn't what I would call "Outfit Hosted" as opposed to "Outfit Only" if you have the "Outfit" box checked. If I check that box, the only other checkbox available is "Friends".
So short of being "Outfit & Friends Only" in your squad, there is no good way to keep lead in the outfit if I disconnect.I prefer running Open squads where we can have new players join to run with our squads in our Platoon to help them learn and see coordinated play, but I would much prefer knowing if I disconnect that lead would go to highest rank in my outfit in the platoon until I reconnect. That way I know lead will get handed back when I reconnect and my squad/platoon won't become a zombie or get usurped by another player.
My mistake. We started on the Outfit hosted feature a long time ago, but never finished it due to various issues. This is a feature I thought had gone Live back when we did our big squad revamp, buuuuuut it did not.
