While the idea itself might be nice, I would rather see that as a part of the UI otherwise it's just polluting the blockchain with redundant data (when bots do that as comments).

We agree, recommendations should definitely be a part of the UI. It was even our original idea to make a stand-alone platform, but that requires much more work. We decided to first test some simple features, see if there are some people who would appreciate them and then start working on something bigger.
We also need to solve the business plan for such a platform, because Steem allows to profit only from services offered to authors, but our main target is readers / curators. The goal is to better connect these two groups, as we think this is quite difficult currently.
Beneficiaries might be partial solution (if your UI will be so tempting that people would use it not only for reading/curating but also writing)
But I agree, that would require a lot more work.
