Would you mind explaining a bit more about why the status quo discourages this type of behavior and what most lawyers perceive as the risks?
I'm not really familiar with how it works and I'd imagine there's others on HN who aren't as well.

The plaintiff would never win the case. But lawyers like to avoid being the target of malpractice claims, even if they're super-weak / spurious / whatever.
I think that is the situation.
As a lawyer, I personally don't mind writing about the law or answering general questions on the internet. I wouldn't answer someone's specific questions about their personal legal situation though (without an engagement letter).
