No one said the event has to have a winner.

This ^
There is no prize or crown for winning the scs...
Either that or mine is lost in the post somewhere ;)
Obviously other tournaments with a prize would need to figure out there own rules.
It is interesting to see Ties becoming a more increasing thing to happen, perhaps this is due to the match time reduction, which as I was aware was put in to avoid the event taking too long when there were lots of teams taking part..

Would going back to 30 minutes not relieve this issue a bit?

If both teams decide that this is their tactic, then it will happen.

If the match is tied by score and all captains agree, the match ends and a tiebreaker match gets played. I'm just thinking about the last SCS Firnfeld match when both teams hesitated to engage to not lose their positioning advantage. In that case the team captains could have called for a tie and played a more interesting match for viewers and players.

I do believe calling a tie was suggested and agreed upon by both teams in that particular match, but we got nothing from the refs on that.
