Since you are asking me a direct question:

Having independent reviews is in line with a community, collaborative
process. It makes the primary force of decision-making come from an
aggregation of comments, and an aggregation of reactions, rather than
from any one person's views or preferences (or even one particular
group's.)

Yes, that might be relevant to the peculiarities of one AD or another,
but it is equally relevant to anyone else's peculiarities.
