The 'higher fee to post in Meta' part.
Because it isn't intended to be a catchall and no longer needs to be a catchall. Someone can create a ~misc or ~catchall territory if they want.
The fee isn't crazy right? It's just enough to make you consider if a post should go somewhere else instead. If you report a bug or have a solid feature request in ~meta, you'll usually recoup the post fee and more.

Yes it's an experiment to see if it no longer attracts malinvestment.
