I think they make a conscious tradeoff. Just like when people have spam prevention systems that make it difficult or impossible for some people to send them email. Or unlisted telephone numbers.

or requiring contributer agreements for patches.
or requiring copyright assignment for patches.
why is it these last two get people up in arms, while these other limits to contributions are shrugged off as not mattering?
