There are too many things to add if we start adding things like that. Each one is important in its own context, of course—like here—but once you start making lists of important things, you end up in a whole-is-less-than-the-sum-of-its-parts situation. I don't think such lists are likely to be effective in the long run.
That's also why the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) are nowhere near as long as they would be if we tried to include all the important things. Better a shorter list that people can actually read.
I hope that doesn't come across as dismissive—I do see your point!
