Fair enough. I should mention my "Why" was more nutsy-and-boltsy than asking about motive; it would perhaps more accurately have been asked as "What do you observe about lesswrong, as it stands, that make you believe it can or should be improved". I am willing to take the desire for it as a given.

The goal of the why, fwiw, was to encourage self-examination, to help perhaps ensure that the "improvement" is just that. Fairly often, attempts to improve things are not as successful as hoped (see most of world history), and as I get older I begin to think more and more that most human attempts to "fix" complex things just tend to screw em up more.

Imagine an "improvement" where your picture was added as part of your post. There are perhaps some who would consider that an improvement - I, emphatically, would not. Not that you are suggesting that - just that the actual improvements should ideally be agreed upon (or at least tolerable to) most or all of the community, and sometimes that sort of consensus is just impossible.
