I noticed it too. My pure speculation is that it is an editorial decision. Because the bottom of the ASK page doesn't add much value to anyone and it is mostly an attractive nuisance for spammers, trolls, etc. there's no point in

Your rationals don’t mention users and if you are short on space, that’s poor design — just as a 12” (300mm) bedroom door would be poor design in a dwelling.

Using a knob when using a knob doesn't solve the problem is poor design...then again, skeuomorphism is usually bad design. Here a counter that increases and decreases with mouse movement would take less space and be more intuitive. And
