No, they are not at all static.

All publically writable spaces are abusable. Therefore all unmoderated
indexing and searching systems are abusable. Catalogs don't seem to be
more abusable than other systems.

It's less complex. And it's pretty much done.

I don't know what you mean.

They require moderation to avoid abuse, as does any system.
