30 out of 40 people do care, enough to conceive of several alternate solutions that shouldn't be that much harder to implement than removing the neutral option entirely.
But any dev-required solution will take a few months at least to program in. What do you propose the CSRs do in the meantime? (Given that they're forbidden from attending OP-battles following massive player complaints about favouritism.)
(By the way, I must agree with you removing the neutral option wouldn't be a big deal with the current frequency of OP battles. But there's no telling if they'll remain at that frequency forever.)
