I think there's a lot of barking up the wrong tree here.

There's two impulses at work:

1) A prelapsarian belief in the Hugos. They haven't been disillusioned yet about what a raw popularity contest the awards really are.

2) The process you keep urging them to get involved in. It's too onerous. (You noted this yourself.) That's why they want an end run around it.
