No I don’t think it’s a good assumption that most people past a 100 karma have figured out how to write publicly with decent quality (though, depends on what you consider decent).
I’m well past a 100 and I expect this to be very useful to me when I write posts.
And if we’re talking in general then even the best writers usually have proofreaders/beta-readers (take Paul graham for example, every essay he releases credits at least a few beta readers)
I do agree it might be especially important to new people that don’t have karma, though. It’ll be interesting to hear more from the team why they decided on that specific limit. My guess, though, is that they want to mostly review posts that are going to be good posts, and don’t want to get spammed with low quality requests. And the 100+ karma filter does that pretty nicely.
One middleground I can think of is you can get a limited number of posts reviewed under 100 karma (even just 1), and at 100 that limit just goes away.
Another advantage of the 100 karma minimum is it’s an easy way to select for people who are members of the community. The point of this offer is to strengthen the community, after all.

I have more than 100 karma and still get a lot of value out of feedback on posts.

True, though growing the community can also be part of strengthening it.
