Closed posts with no solution are nearly worthless

I’d disagree here. A topic might have a good answer, but the OP didn’t bother to mark it as solution/solutions weren’t available if it’s an older topic, etc.

Why would such a topic be closed? (And, preemptively: “Because the site is set to close topics after N days” is an answer to how the topic was closed, not why.)
