Many questions get dupe-hammered within seconds of being asked because it remotely resembles an older question. If it doesn't get dupe hammered, the platform encourages other users to answer as quickly as possible to appear on top. Unfortunately, this promotes many dangerously unsafe answers. Many articles have reported on the high number of security vulnerabilities in accepted and highly upvoted answers.

However, even when ignoring all that, if you really ask a "well-researched and well-articulated question" on a complex matter, you will not get an answer in most cases. For those after reputation points, it is far easier to answer simple questions. You are far better off raising it as a GitHub issue if it is an open-source framework.
