Which the risk averse social players don't seem to mind. Much like the chip stacks for tournaments, they don't care, they are there to chat and enjoy themselves. I don't mind this at all, different strokes and all.

Rather than attracting the risk averse player, the high BB to buy in ratio engenders a much looser playing style and leads to an action packed game. When your Big Blind equals 4% of your buy-in you can't afford to sit around waiting for the nuts. The action is much juicier than ,say, Stars or Tilt or Absolute. This is one of the keys that make TP a worthwhile site, IMO. I would not want to see this change. It would change and destroy the dynamic of an action game.
