Swiss Tournaments don't abort game

Yesterday, I was playing in a swiss tournament with another account and, after the 20 seconds before first move had passed, my opponent's clock started ticking and I had to wait 7 minutes for them to lose on time.
AFK default wins happen a lot. You wouldn't gain any advantage from an instant win anyway, as you have to wait for the next round to start.

Better thing would be removing offline people instantly, like in arenas.
