Increasing the number of reviewers who ask clarifying questions makes code simpler and clearer and thereby typically increases code quality, but hierarchical review processes make this impossible.

Moreover, the more people review the code with comments that ask for clarification, the more likely it becomes that the code becomes simpler and clearer, which in turn typically increases code quality. However, that is no possible in hierarchical review processes.
