An announcement is simply that - a providing of new, important and/or useful information. In most cases, it - whatever it is - can be discussed in the open forum on other threads.

What’s the problem with an open discussion?

There is no problem with open discussion if you so choose; in this case it is a "closed thread" because it was posted as an announcement. Normally most announcement threads of that type are closed after the announcement is made. You are however, certainly allowed to start a new thread under the proper forum if you so choose.

It's generally always been that way, announcements are locked, except announcement of mod new and retiring, new rooms being added.
Discussion is allowed in a separate thread.
