The rule is there to stop people trying to win on time in completely dead drawn positions e.g Rook V Rook. If there is any play left in the position the draw should never be given.
Don't see a problem with the rule at it stands, the only problem could be the application of the rule because it requires the arbiter to use his or her judgement on whether or not a player has demonstrated they can draw the position.
