I think that the reward settings on Steem are chosen with a decent amount of game theory behind them, what follows in terms of behavior, community and mass adoption are the results of a well-weighted risk and reward calculation.

Would you like a platform that really rewards manual human interaction? That focuses more on long-term rewards than short term? Where 50/50 payout rewards between autors and curators are the norm? Where voting patterns are analyzed and the rewards diminished when the same group of accounts always vote for the same authors in the same patterns (multiple accounts bots)? Where viewtime of an article is a factor to determine possible curation rewards, rewarding humans that actually read a post more than an automated vote?

You know, all these things are possible. Probably not on Steem. But why not launch an SMT on this type of principles?
