With my time in the clan squad, if someone was missing, trying to fill that gap was just obnoxious. Especially if that person was the clan admin. We just didn't do any checks, barely. 2 times a year always seemed like too little anyway, that's why this move for automation was a good move in our eyes. We can now do monthly checks with ease.

50% of players have to play 30+ games a month to get full points mind you. And honestly, if your clan consists of more than 50% absolutely inactive players, then you need to rethink your member list.

Yes, with the initial check, a lot of clans were inactive. A few of them were just a couple of points away from being active, a the majority would just need to pull their weight more to get active, and the others are just inactive. We don't want next to dead clans getting by our checks because they do the absolute bare minimum (which really was quite the minimum). This is exactly why we are giving a grace period instead of straight up removing these clans, so they can boost up their activity. Our intention is to have active clans.
