Because on HN we like titles to have information and not be click-bait. The WSJ title is prime click-bait.

It's an accurate summary with no glaring missing pieces. Your definition of "prime click-bait" is way off.
So, clickbait is fine, as long as we just editorialize the title? That's an unusual standard.
Pretty much standard for HN, there are endless mod comments explaining it. Although they make more sense if you distinguish between 'changing' and 'editorializing'.
Are you saying the new title is clickbait? How so?
