Because that's abuse-prone. Still, a map like Proving Grounds has a lot of passive leveling/gold, so you don't become completely useless if you DC for 10 minutes. But on SR that can't happen. Because if you're a jungler and the enemy is really good at counter-jungling, you'll probably go underlevel and poor. By having the game handing you gold/level you have an advantage.

Also, we can't have people joining to replace others ... Who would want to do that? Either you'd force people to do it or you'd have way too little people to do it efficiently. Plus a match with a leaver is most certainly ending at 20 minutes. If someone joins it should end very, very shortly. What kind of rewards does the replacement deserve? If it's less than normal, there's no reason to do it. If it's the same, it's abuse-prone.

A bot can't replace a leaver ... Really, a bot would just become a really bad feeder-troll.

There are no easy solutions. However, suspend/banning leavers is the right thing to do. If people can't stay to the end, they shouldn't have come in the first place.
