As moultano suggests, this is likely because most other websites make it completely impossible to navel-gaze. We can't possibly give the HN admins too much praise and credit for their commitment to open and stable availability of legacy data.
It's true that meta is the crack of internet forums, so we, er, crack down on it quite a bit. That's a longstanding view: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

But yesterday's thread and this one are clearly exceptions—far above the median. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46212180 was particularly incredible I think!
