1)"I think you need to stick to fixed length matches or the cube will get thrown around randomly just to create chances of winning 25-0."

Maybee sometimes. But getting as many point as possible when you are loosing could be important when you are counting your points at the end of a tournament. A few small losses is not so bad if you also get some big wins. But a few big losses can be really bad. Also 25-5 are often (almost) just as good as a 25-0 win.

2)"Also if a player gets a good lead then the incentive is to play as slowly as possible to preserve the lead."

True. But I think using Bronstein can be useful to minimize this problem.
