A lot of the player count on steam is users AFK idling so they don't have to get stuck in queue again. My discord friend list is a ton of idle users on Helldivers 2 all day and night

Yeah, that's definitely a thing. They need to implement an idle timer. Seems like a low effort feature that would improve the login experience significantly.
