I think it would be entirely reasonable for the IESG to say to the community "we need to be on-site because... and believe that IETF efficiency would suffer if we weren't". Personally, I'd probably support that position.

FWIW, 28% of only 400+ rooms feels like a rather big number. Had Ray said "5%", it wouldn't have occurred to ma to propose that particular exercise.
I'd like to point out the obvious, which is that there are two parts to the hold-back number. Expanding the IETF room block from 400 to, say, 800 or 900, would be a way to shrink the percent and cut way back on the "how can the hotel be sold out within an hour of the announcement" complaints.
