New Scratcher restrictions exist to combat bots and trolls. Lessening these restrictions hampers the ability to catch bad actors before they can do much damage. See 8.2 of The Official List of Rejected Suggestions for more information about why the New Scratcher status exists and why they won't allow anyone to skip it.

Currently there is a griffpatch multiplayer hack wave going on, so this is an example why new scratchers can't use them.

Freedom is tied in with being able to exercise responsibility and respect. Needless to say, the wait period from “New Scratcher” to “Scratcher” is a necessary time period for users to show that they're responsible enough to follow the Community Guidelines and have earned of the freedom to use cloud variables.
