Every question requires one of the tags [feature-request], [bug], [support], or [discussion]. Why is this so?

The corresponding tag-info on Meta Stack Exchange contains a link to this answer And you can find some related discussions, such as: What is the idea behind required tags here on Meta? and "must include one of these tags -- bug feature-request discussion support" $\endgroup$– Martin SleziakNov 6, 2022 at 17:17

$\begingroup$ I guess that message we all should take from this requirement is that unless the post is not a feature request, a bug report, asking for support in using the main site, or a call for a discussion, then the post is off-topic on meta $\endgroup$– Jyrki LahtonenNov 16, 2022 at 11:44

$\begingroup$ @JyrkiLahtonen One can ask for support in using the meta site, too, since there's no Math Meta Meta SE. $\endgroup$– The AmplitwistNov 17, 2022 at 15:07

The 'obvious' answer is the idea to structure the various meta sites in a standardized way. What is likely not obvious is that this is actually used beyond what what can be done with usual tags.
For example, a question tagged as "discussion" might show up as Hot Meta Post on main, a "bug" question will not but instead it will by brought to the attention from SE staff.
