... "who want to penalize everyone" ... "that would then penalize him/her" ... "where someone gets penalized for ..."

Players who favor clock preference or mandatory clocks don't see them as a "penalty," but as a tool to help tournaments run on time and to improve the play of the game, for all the reasons mentioned so very many times, over the years.

And maybe make the slow player suffer some embarrassment for being designated slow - "Oh yeah, he's in the leper colony" kind of deal.

I can't see that singling out players for embarrassment is likely to encourage tournament attendance.
