My quick guess is that people don’t agree about what constitutes a (relevant) flaw. (And there are lots of irrelevant flaws so you can’t just check for the existence of any flaws at all).
I think if people could agree, the authorial incentives would follow. I’m fairly sympathetic to the idea that readers aren’t incentivised to correctly agree on what consitutes a flaw.
