Indeed - it is difficult to point to any one system that has caused an implosion. Usage-based skill advancement is one that has both proponents and naysayers. Permadeath is another that rarely finds anyone sitting in a neutral chair. It's like Rocky Road ice cream - you either love it or you hate it.

The need for professionalism is a given, volunteer or not. That is an obligation borne by anyone willing to spend the time to develop and maintain a publically-accessible entertainment venue. There is plenty of airspace for those who choose to take the less professional approach, so long as their games are never reachable by anyone but their specifically invited friends. For the rest, there is no second choice - be professional or be gone.
