The problem is that SO is not a Q&A site although it calls itself that (which is admittedly misleading). It is a community edited knowledgebase, basically a wiki, where the content is Q&As. It just so happens that one method of contributing to the site is by writing questions for other people to write answers to. If you ask a question (i.e., add content to the wiki) that is not in scope, then of course it will get removed.
