The reality is most people move every day. Yes there are some players who use more of the time, but if you have a number of games going, you can cope with one or two not moving very fast.

I remember a few weeks back, Chessmaster 1000 had real problems getting online and timed-out in quite a high number of games. If these games would have had a higher time limit, they would not have timed out. Having a higher time limit would not have affected how often CM1000 moved, and more often than not the opponents too.

I move usually every day - the only reason I choose 21 days for my tournaments is so that, should I have any problems with access, I know my games will not time out, BUT it doesn't stop me making moves on the games every day, nor many many others.
