The trouble with SO that I've seen is that there are more false positive identification of the XY problem than false negatives.
IOW, any time you think you have spotted an XY problem, you're probably wrong.
And that's the problem with SO moderators and regulars. They classify everything as an XY problem because it allows them to answer the question they know the answer to rather than answer the question that was asked.
