Why can't we have weak rules about what exactly counts as on topic, and punish violators through mild social pressure?

Because people quite like mild off-topicness if it's otherwise interesting, and are not interested in exerting social pressure against it. Although that might be typical mind fallacy, I doubt it.

Unless it's to blatant, in case we're already doing exactly that with the karma system.
