It's not about "causing" a "rage".
I've seen Demomen who are so good at piping the flag that the attacking scouts and medics have been forced to attack the demo rather than the flag. How is this any different to having to chase a sniper?
The scouts and medics are just as frustrated would that also be considered "rage"? Or does this only apply to the sniper?

@ Bridget
I'm laying a challenge at your feet.
Get stuck into your buddies in Talos. Particularly whoever owns the servers.
Get them to take out the sniper using server settings and see how it goes.
If the server has a great increase in usage then I will be happy to say you were right in these very forums.
If the experiment fails then you STFU.
Balls in your court dude.
However I can already smell the excuses for why this won't happen.

BTW: after re-reading all your arguments I realized there exists a game which fulfills nearly all your requirements.
It's called Team Fortress 2.
You should go play that.
