Because it's boring as hell.

Just to give one example, which, in my case would fall under the new rule.

I made a thread called "Saved by his enemy". It was about a neonazi having a car accident and been saved by Syrian refugees he campaigned against. So, under this rule, I had to call it: "Neonazi saved by refugees".

That's boring and I don't see why people can't take the few seconds to check if the thread's interesting or not.
