Why don't we see more of loss prevented?

If someone is picked up by leaverbuster as being afk I feel like that would be a valid circumstance. Give the enemy team their win, but don't punish the losing team because someone was afk.

The same goes for when someone decides to intentionally feed. If they are actually punished by the tribunal for intentionally feeding, surely we should get our LP back?

Yeah, the second example just happened to me and got me demoted. That's the reason I'm making this post, but my point still stands.

Because, as is always brought up in similar posts, this would be abused by people. Either by queing with a smurf friend who can afk/feed if their buddy isn't doing well. Bullying someone until they leave for the afk or int. Creating a market to hire people for example 1.

Further, Loss Prevented is only utilized when Riot servers are not functioning properly, and in limited cases where there are large ISP issues.

Not for any single game, but enabled across a server.

ELO inflation

Easily abusable, creates MMR inflation, generally a poor solution. The only way it would ever work is if you didn't give the winning team their win. And that would be a terrible system, as the team that's already losing is more likely to have someone afk or ragequit.
