Why do some people sabotage unrated games by intentionally remaining idle in spawn?

This is the second time that I have experienced this kind of player. They would pick an agent in agent select and remain idle for the rest of the game in spawn. Then, they would only use in-game agent callout buttons in order to remain active to the game AI. This behavior not only sabotage the game experience in a way that one team is handicapped, it also prevents the rest of the team from receiving AFK teammate compensations like money and ultimate orbs.

After the enemy found out about this teammate, they would rush spawn to pick up a free kill every round. The game ended with this player having a 0-17-0 KDA and a barrage of trash talk from the enemy. I reported said player but I doubt it will have any significant impact. Have you experienced this kind of player? Do you think they deserve a perma ban?
