Could you tell what the motivation for the application process (and application question specifically) is, considering that it adds friction and delay to the registration process?

Yeah, if I make it entirely open it would be very easy to DDOS the instance with bot accounts. Once I (and one mod for now) figure out the infrastructure, scaling, community management etc. I would certainly prefer it to be entirely open as well. It's just that things are in flux during this transition period.
