because Amazon allows anything and no quality control. someone can just re-publish Wikipedia articles as books, which a lot of people do.

A 15 minute human review process that checks if it:

- is copy pasted from another source or the internet

- respects copyright

- is written in the language it says it is

In graduate school nobody can understand each other's papers, so the colleges set up a massive list of formatting guidelines. The idea being the focus on formatting means you at least had to spend a minimum amount of effort.

A 15-minute human review is not going to be able to check all three of those things, or really do much of a job on even either of the first two in isolation.
