Why full LP loss for those with an AFK player on their team?

Why doesn't Riot give you a break for getting afk players on your team. i understand that some games are still winnable but, with someone that goes afk after some time the odds in your favor drop pretty low unless you are smurfing.

Why do we lose the our standard amount of LP in Ranked when we get an AFK teammate? Why not make it so we lose a little less?

Because LP loss mitigation would create an incentive to drive a player out once the game was perceived as lost.

Because you win full LP when there is an afk on the enemy team
