A possible argument: rituals will help build a cohesive tribe, but harm recruiting efforts. LW is more valuable for its articles than for its community, so tribe-building is not that valuable. But there are lots of people who are not yet aware of LW's ideas/community who would be turned off by cultishness.
(I don't feel qualified to have a position on this issue myself.)
Cohesiveness generally helps recruiting more than it hurts it, so I find this unlikely.
