That’s why they do it, but what they’re doing is essentially rejecting the request. If it’s a question, sure, but if it’s a feature request or worse yet a bug report then moving to discussions is bs.
Sure, but isn't reject + allowing discussion (e.g. from other users, or maybe a maintainer will chip in) better than reject + nothing, a closed undiscoverable issue or worse locked?
'Moved to discussion' seems better to me than 'closed; tagged question'.
