Why do you support a boycott of general questions?

If you support a boycott of general questions, why do you think that is appropriate? How do general questions hurt this website? How do they change the flavor and freedom of the website?

Like this question, for example. No one who is opposed to such a boycott can answer, because that’s off topic. People can phrase their questions in such a way as to only get the answers they want and no one can give an opposing point of view. But that’s only one of the problems with the general questions. What are others?

If this question gets moved to the meta section without retaining its general status, it should be removed.
