There are multiple problems.

Of course no amount of technology will provide us with a bigger pool of
qualified reviewers. That doesn't mean our present management methods
are good - you seem to be just about the only person left who thinks
they are. Moving from using a quill to using a fountain pen or even a
ballpoint doesn't mean we have more writers or better writers. But it
does make writing easier and is therefore a good thing to do.
