It is less that, and more that IF has us do the magic through DMs and only after can we inform the rest of the community of what we learned. We have to do it alone and through the use of a major action.
Now compare it to being able to use runes with just a passive action and have it be a public effort where even someone who cannot speak runes can help 'code' it properly.
We had people die to mosquitoes the first turn. Let them experiment on their own and see what happens after.
I mean, someone died to a mosquito because they were out alone, and we can't very well go with you on spirit quests and be very useful, I don't think. Runes meanwhile, we can actually just discuss in-character...I will say that doing so publicly means that using them against other Norsemen runs into the 'I planned for that' issue, so it's not without cost to do rune stuff in a public venue. Other people can also steal your work and use the phrases themselves.
Like...public rune-brainstorming is useful if you can find someone willing to be helpful, but it can easily still miss things and it's not actually free for the person doing it in practice.
