Would a forum have a privilege system that stops newbies from starting threads?
I've seen no one proposing that.

Imho that's just wrong, and this message somewhat proves my point:
There are several users with a "@apple.com" trophy, and I guess most people who
spend a significant amount of time on swift-evolution also have developed a
preference not only for topics, but also for authors (saving matching posts
from being ignored).
The ability to "like" posts would be a remarkable help for newbies to gather
attention for their ideas — not because of the status of the author, but
because of the quality of their contribution.
