But the objective isn't to remove them from the game. It's to avoid the game being overwhelmingly warped by their performance.

How can it possibly be warping the game? You signed up to play against 9 other players including that guy, and the game is playing out how it is supposed to. The problem with this argument is players trying to dictate that other players should be playing a certain way. They would be removing the player not because he is not playing correctly, but because the game is not playing out how the person wanting to get rid of him thinks it should play out.
I suppose it depends on your definition of 'correctly'. The functional difference between a player playing extremely badly and a player staling, after all, is very slight. Obviously the intent is different, but people are subbed out for staling too often, even if they don't want to be.

I agree that expecting people to play exactly the way you would, or the way you want them to is unreasonable. But I think it is reasonable to expect players to be of a certain level of competence.
