Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how absolutely amazing this system is?
As far as I know, NO OTHER GAME has this kind of feature. Its such genius! How? Allow me to list three of my personal top points;
I: Trolls
Love to laugh at them, or love to hate them, they're everywhere whether we like it or not. No game is safe from them. Teammates drop out at the last second to leave you bleeding at the final stretch, or refuse to revive or heal you, or spend the entire match making your life as hard as possible. "Its just a game bro!" is a phrase I'm sure we've ALL heard many times in front of that soul-crushing "game-over" screen. What does this have to do with the drop-in protester system? Because its exactly what trolls want to be! A nagging nuisance that exist to cause players pain, but now they have their own designated "team" to cause mischief and mayhem all they like in a perfectly valid and game-friendly manner.
II: Longevity
It is almost impossible to find a multiplayer game in EA1 nowadays, a shame because it is a game truly best played with or against friends. EA2 has this problem solved because even if you play solo online, you can have humans jump in as Protesters and keep the community thriving and friendly. You can enjoy talking smack, possibly even bargaining with the human protesters to focus on your enemies just for the fun of it. And of course the roleplaying potential is almost endless!
III: New Dynamic
Protesters are a new concept us players have never seen. It will strike our minds up a-whirlin'. Both combating them and doing damage as them. New strategies and tactics will be needed to play against and as. I anticipate it will be akin to a whole new game! (Perhaps player-protesters will have to buy AI Protesters by doing damage to CEOs to earn money, or maybe also steal technology to access better AI units.)
