The purpose is so that people can go to the bathroom or get some food quickly etc. I understand that AFkers might take up room in spectate, but I havent seen that be much of a problem. Perhaps some sort of spectate timer that kicks people if they are spectating for a whole map, or something similar, could fix that. Obviously, if someone is planing on going afk for some large amount of time then they should leave, but I don't see that happening too often. I just feel that eliminating spectator solves fewer problems than it creates.
Also, nothing is stopping people from just joining a team and being AFK. Or joining the server and sitting in the "beginning spectator mode" and being afk.
