I think the framing as "stupidity" is to highlight that you don't always chase creative questions. Quite often, you should chase the obvious or understood points.

The problem, I think, comes from the weaponization of "stupid" against people. The XKCD of the lucky 1000 plays a good role here. If you are constantly deriding others for stupid takes, then anyone that derides one of your stupid takes will hit hard. And that seems to be getting worse.
