Thanks for going through the trouble of checking the asks like that. I've also come to the same conclusion, that SMR "plays favorites" so to speak when it comes to what asks they let through. And to clarify, I'm not complaining about reasonable things like putting a pause on an overplayed topic, or disallowing name-drops in submissions, or restricting hate speech. It feels like there's a whole secret set of rules I'm not privy to. Whoever said "cliquey," that's definitely the right word for it.
