I think you misunderstand the purpose of Little Snitch. The entire product is to warn you about outgoing connections. One of the use cases of that is seeing if a random app is connecting to an unknown host.
If you allowed crowdsourced rules, someone could sneak in a rule that says to allow their random app to connect to a random host, which is how malware exfiltrates your private data.
