You don't play L4D, so I'll try to explain the situation: There's a slot of servers using plugins with the same functionality, you join them from lobby by random, you have a bad ping, the server is bugged, there are other mods you don't agree with (perkmod, etc.) and the 8 people are all trapped on the server. Now you can leave as one person, yes, but the lobby itself breaks apart and it is oftentimes very difficult to find the same interesting lineup of players as pubs, or even get a full lobby. To sum it up, it is incredibly frustrating.
Server owners abuse this (actually do this on purpose rather than "abusing") to keep their servers full.
