Whole wikis that choose not to leave because they'll recieve penalties is just weird imo. Because if noone rises against the tyrrany, it will never fall. They need to know that their communities will leave if they misbehave. Otherwise they'll never listen.
 * Individual users may want to stay on Wikia for various reasons (for instance, I'm (ostensibly) the only active admin on a wiki I frequent, which is a good reason not to leave). Said users can derive usage or visual similarity to Monobook by customizing CSS/JS, etc. This is a completely understandable thing to do and there's no reason to ask them to leave.
 * Whole wikis trying to leave tend to have to fight the old Wikia wiki's listings for better SEO and tend to suffer penalties in their search engine placement due to duplicate content to the wiki they left. If not everyone chooses to leave, then you also have the issue of the community splintering... etc. etc. (Some parts of this bullet were discussed in this very thread, IIRC)
