When Harry was injured, they had to forfeit a match because they had 
no Seeker. Wouldn't it be better to field a substandard "reserve" 
Seeker (say, hypothetically, Ron) than to forfeit??

It must be pretty hard to fly and dodge bludgers and try to catch the 
snitch.
A game can only end when the snitch has been caught. If the seeker 
isn't good then it can go on for ages. Maybe Hootch didn't think it 
was a good idea for them to play for all eternity, even wizards don't 
live forever. ;)
