This is simple: There is no royal piece. The king is equal to all other pieces and the game ends when every piece is captured, like in horde

too many draws

Theoretically busted because it will be impossible to capture queens and rooks, and 99.8% of games will end in draws.

No single normal opponent will blunder so much three times in a single game.

Ok, you are right!

But what about changing the rule a little.

Let's create an insufficient material rule so in q vs. r the one that haves queen wins

Q v N 

Q v B

If the pieces have the same value there is a draw.

So, equal pieces or N B K, that have the same value.
