firstly I should say that if everyone worked split on a busy band then the overall capacity would probably be reduced.
There are good reasons for not calling zero beat. Taking 6M double-hop E-skip as an example, I often find myself beaten by a W0 station when calling W1 or W2. Another example is a pileup for a rare country, state, or grid, where the strongest station is likely to win. And with modes like FT8 that don't do well with multiple signals on the same frequency, no one gets decoded. This often happens with humans attempting to decode CW with multiple callers zero beat with each other as a result of clicking on a cluster spot.
