I'm inclined to agree, in principle, but this would mean that many students would end up with a lower grade than they could expect to have achieved normally. This would particularly apply to less-advantaged students whose schools and/or families have been less able to fill in the gap. While that'd result in grades that would be far more meaningful than any of what's currently being done -- and universities, employers, etc would just have to take account of the special circumstances surrounding 2020 results when making admission/employment decisions -- I don't think it's politically tenable.
