"Many kids don't like to go out for Open Lunch due to the crowds, fights and bad behaviors that happen during Open Lunch. Some of that is because those kids are more introverted and/or shy and some of that is because their parents warn them about such things. Especially if your child is of an immigrant background."

This is a non-issue because no one is forcing anyone to leave campus during open lunch.  Kids can choose to stay at school and eat in the cafeteria (school lunch or packed lunch).  In fact, it's probably much more pleasant for these students to remain in the cafeteria or another part of the building when a large number of other students are off campus because it is much less crowded. It seems to me that the fights and bad behaviors you speak of that occur during Open lunch would simply happen inside the building if all students were trapped inside the building.

Open lunch in no way prohibits or stigmatizes shy students who do not wish to partake in the privilege of going off campus for lunch.
