It exists here even though it doesn't fulfill the "requirements," and it's not hurting anything. It provides a safe, comfortable place on MobileRead where one person can get his tech questions answered.
Of course, we could all do that. We could all create our own personal tech help thread, like Gregg has. Just as easily, if not more so, we could create one subforum where we all could go for help. Right here in the safe, comfortable MobileRead forums.
If the idea is repugnant to people, of course we shouldn't foist it on them. Although, if it were repugnant to them, they could simply not visit the subforum.
I don't see an insurmountable problem with creating a subforun for this purpose. I don't have the technical skills of many of the people here, but I just might have an answer for someone some day, and I'd get pleasure out of that. Also, I might get some answers myself just from lurking there.
That is all. Carry on.

Why not just start a thread in the lounge about whatever you need help with or are curious about?
I have done that more than once. I usually get a quick answer.
