Does anyone think more soldiers may not care about declining physical fitness and their performance?

I want to see what everyone's views about Army directive 2020-06 concerning (Army Combat Fitness Test). Especially section (4) paragraph (D) about no adverse actions administrative actions, (specifically how they perceive junior enlisted might view this). I believe many junior enlisted soldiers may take this as (NOT ALL) "free Pass' so to speak and have no concern with failing the ACFT, until it matters. Potentially not taking it seriously, I understand as leaders its our job to inspire those to be the best they possibly can. I don't believe the Army should be a cheer camp by any means. But I do believe the most important thing in leading is inspiring those to give everything max effort, as I believe it builds physical and mental strength. Please note, I'm just trying to start on open and healthy discussion about how junior enlisted might view this, and share opinions as leaders and how we can ensure that given the directive. We ensure soldiers in our ranks do not procrastinate, or otherwise take physical fitness as not having not as much as significance. I support this directive but I do believe the downside should be discussed, as when you amply the positive, the negative can reflect the same increase. Again
I will clarify so this is not taken out of context, i'm not talking down on the directive I am looking to discuss how we as leaders intend to mitigate the risk and prevent the decline of physical readiness.
