Why not just list everyone... tables and filters for the end user

Filters are useful to narrow a list but they're useless for actually recording a decision against each item in the set. They're just not a mechanic for assigning a (boolean) value. Swiping is, and that's what's happening here.
You give up on a lot of data you could otherwise have collected by doing that, data which could have helped the product in other ways.
