I think this policy was, in large part, intended to respect the user base, who get exhausted answering the same question over and over.
I do agree they later trashed that relationship with the Monica incident and AI policies.
Sounds like they optimised for a select 1% class of self appointed gatekeepers rather than the broad user base. Classic mistake of nearly every defunct social site.
To a certain extent, you have to. Same reasons Wikipedia has a core clique of editors; they do a lot of the work.
It worked beautifully for quite a while. I don't think anyone anticipated ChatGPT when planning it all out.
