Why would anyone even hesitate to leave a poorly matched battle? The payout isn't worth the wasted time if its not a fun match. Close games, win or lose, are fun games. Leaving a poorly matched battle to try to get into a better one makes perfect sense.
The problem isn't people leaving battle; the problem is people staying in poorly matched battles instead of getting back into the queue, leaving the proto-stompers in those poorly matched battles to collect their payout while having LAV races, because they don't have anyone to shoot.
If more people left battles more quickly, we'd have a larger population available to queue into better matches. This would also provide CCP Whoever with better data to understand when the current match making system is unsatisfactory. Sticking it out conceals that dissatisfaction from CCP.

On what basis do you make this claim?
Just speaking for myself of course; unless I play until the end I won't know what will happen. I have been in matches which looked very grim, but we managed to come around at the last minute. If people just assuming the battle is lost and leave, you are in fact fullfilling a self proclaimed prophesy by screwing the rest of the team.
Additional questions:
- Do you leave as soon as you see a full squad of a known corp?
- Do you leave when things get tough?
- Do you leave when you died x number of times?
- Do you leave because of a sertain map you don't like?
- Do you leave because of a squad member didn't join?
No, No, No, No, and Yes. My post directly above yours explained why is ok to leave a poorly matched battle. You can easily recognize a poorly matched battle, because its not just one squad queue synched against you, its the same 8 or 9+ people that just stomped you in the prior match. If you stay til the end, guess who the matchmaking system is going to line you up against, again, because your battles ended at the same time?
Sticking around in a match like that, just isn't the smart thing to do.
