In practice all BB was asserting his changes would do was spread out the pressure on DCing. He did not seem to be expecting a huge revolution in launch times. Rightly so since I would think the vast majority of people who pre launch are really not all that bothered if their land tick is revealed and will go on using it.
However, I agree that the pre-launch sending your fleet a distance from your planet is absolutely bizarre. It is pre-launch because they have not launched yet, not because they have stealthily shuffled half way there!
The effects of such a change are also, as you point out entirely bad for defence, meanwhile attackers suffer
no penalty at all because they pre-launched for the simple reason that they are not going to be on and so they wont be cancelling PL and thus wont be traveling back due to having used it.
