I agree with you myself
On the Discourse site where I worked, there was a much higher preference of discussion usually staying in one topic and only open a new one if necessary. We also didn’t automatically most close topics when they’re solved - it was mainly for bug reports.
I was mostly just trying to explain the rationale here on Meta – not necessarily that I agree with it all myself
Yeah I agree that it is too much time to ask - I was trying to phrase a request for moderators here to reopen the topic for you
