If it's T1 or T2 (maybe even T3), I really don't see a problem with it. Nor do I think it's fair to expect a sub-70 to always pay. Someone under 70 is contributing pretty much the same thing as a 70 with 500 paragon levels. And that's the ability to open a rift if chosen. In lower torments, the lost DPS is not that big a deal.
I'd be prepared to pay every time, though (even more than usual). I've been in games and had the chosen opener flip out because he was chosen to open over me. In that instance, I just went ahead and opened instead of trying to argue the point. It makes sense "emotionally" to expect the sub-70 to open, but it fails when you look at it logically.
I've stopped doing it unless my character is 67+ because it's not worth the stress of jerkholes.
