Probably not, since most preparers seem to be unaware or unconcerned about it, why would it cause taxpayers to file sooner? To be an effective deterrent, people have to be AWARE of it and it doesn't seem like that's happened on any large scale. 

Furthermore, to spring this on taxpayers in the height of a pandemic when a lot of people are out of work seems like pretty bad timing to me, so I think it is pretty bad and your attitude about it seems really inappropriate especially for someone that should be on the side of taxpayers. 

Maybe you should go work for the IRS.
