It's up to the user to use or trust any assertions and/or the wot,
there is not force there. Though yes, I'd never blacklist nodes
in the directories just for nodes not being part of the wot.

The user is evaluating and doing the inviting as they see fit.

For example, I might be inclined to route my traffic only over
nodes run by those posting to this list, as opposed to also over
the thousands of nodes that are nothing to me but an IP address.

The closest analogy is subscribing to adblocker subscriptions.
If they subscribe to one that blocks torproject.org, that's their problem.
