Your three pillars seem like a good way to describe three orthogonal aspects of question quality.

However, you have devalued your own "question" here by introducing personal values onto your three pillars.  If this question is about the three pillars, whether you agree how they should be valued or not, then you shouldn't be inserting any of your own value judgements.  They should be removed to make [what appears to be] your main point stronger.

I particularly disagree with your downplaying the importance of pillar 1.  I personally find incorrectly written text very annoying to read.  It comes across as sloppy (what else were they sloppy about) and in some cases like the author is thumbing their nose at the volunteers here.

All three pillars have importance, and a question lacking in any one of them can't be "good".  If you don't want to debate the merits and details of each pillar here, then you shouldn't put your own value judgements in the question.
