There are two reasons:

1. To get enough data to actually understand what's going on. The latest change
only went into effect 12 days ago. Even if there was only a small effect on
upload quality, it would be good to know exactly what that effect was. This
will help to inform future decisions about things like anonymous editing on
mobile.

2. Because we are a wiki. Allowing people to share isn't just a motto we're
supposed to give lip service to. We should exhaust as many plausible solutions
as possible before we effectively disable a core feature like uploading. In
many parts of the world, mobile phones are the predominant way people access
Wikipedia.

Also, it would be helpful to have an actual goal in mind. What percentage of
bad mobile web uploads can be tolerated? 75%? 50%? 25%? Does volume affect that
number?
