IDK how that's supposed to prove a god exists, though we've seen the faithful confuse objective moral apprehensions for "god" in thread and that might be what we're looking at there. It does suggest that strict subjectivism may not be an airtight theory of morality even in the descriptive. I wouldn't focus on the negative, though. Sure, plenty of people wouldn't act - in fact, the larger the group the less likely a person is to act even if they do know how, are capable, and were raised to bother. Failure (real or perceived, moral or practical) is never all that difficult to explain.
It can be difficult to explain why we stick our necks out even when we don't know how, even when we're not capable, even when we were raised not to bother, metaethically speaking. Something other than pure self interest or self reference or the conditioning of our society is at play, rightly or wrongly.
