>I was hoping for more stories from people...

They said it's an "occasional series" and they're starting it off with this one story. My guess is these will be sprinkled in on slow news days to keep their (relatively short) email length fairly consistent.

yeah. I find that Axios is hit or miss; sometimes I'm ok with just the brief summary, but there are times (like this) where a long form piece is more what I'm after.

Kudos that they did answer the question of why.
