This is a common problem on internet forums / communities generally.

Whenever a community gets large enough that people start to care about their status within that community you get people who just want to throw around their authority.

In Stackoverflow's case though the value of the site comes from how helpful the user base is. I think part of the reason a lot of devs are asking questions on places like Reddit and discord servers these days is because you're less likely to deal with some dickhead picking holes with how you formatted your question before some power user comes along and closes the thread completely before you have an answer.
