It’s pretty common for channels that want to put up some information but not worry about moderation. YouTube puts the content moderation responsibility on the channel, which requires work-hours to actually moderate, and if the channel doesn’t have the hours to spare, they risk a strike or ban for allowing community violations. Of course we most often see it on controversial videos that just want to avoid hate, so your question is understandable.
