Why is there no moderation with regards to topical content on HN?

Why is there no moderation with regards to topical content on HN? As per the posted policy when I joined HN, this would have been topical. (It has changed since.) "Anything that would be interesting to hackers." I don't mind at all if the occasional pop-sci article comes by, so long as they don't all do so unfiltered. Ironically, this comment and the one it replies to are distinctly against the moderation policy, as per my understanding.
