More than half of people would be winning players if there was no rake at all.

Unless you contend that a relatively small number of deep-pocketed losers would subsidize everyone else, this statement is hard to agree with. At best, one would suspect it would be about an equal split between winners and losers if there were no rake. Obviously, no rake implies there would be an expected (and actual) win/loss of zero for all players taken as a group. My guess is that we'd actually see more losers than winners because winners would tend to play more often than losers, thereby concentrating the winnings into the group of better players while many losers would dabble a bit, conclude they weren't going to be very successful at online poker, and do something else.
