It is a problem becuase you run into the issue of not very good
articles. Your proposal won't work because only a very small number of
people want to work on subjects they are not interested in when they
could work on subjects they are interested in.
We don't want "not very good articles" on the main page. I still don't
see
how your observation of people's personal preferences supports your argument
that this is a "problem".
Articles on
subjects in which nobody shows any interest should probably
not
be on our main page.
Really? Lets look at [[Algerian Civil War]]. Featured article. Look
how short it's talk page is. Go back to before it was on the main page
and you will find it was basicaly wirtten by [[User:Mustafaa]]. That
is how interested people were in the topic.
If as you claim only one person is interested in it, what's it doing as a
FA?
