There's an understandable reason. However, I don't think that is necessarily true.
One could argue that an environment like that would crumble if it severely lacks incentives, or inappropriately allocates incentives and rewards, for workers. Evidence of this can be seen in countless historical accounts such as, the French Revolution, Rise of Communism, Slave Revolts, and etc. where the perceived lack of reward or incentive led to an uproot or destruction of the internal framework, from nation to plantation.
To relate, Graal is the quintessential of these types of environments because the working body does not receive any substantial benefits as-is.
In this context, wouldn't proper recognition counteract this seemingly unrewarding endeavor?
I mean, in academia, recognition is paramount due to similar reasons, excess of the lack of substantial (financial) benefits except in certain areas.
However, I do notice that in governmental bodies this is handled similar to the manner that you guys suggest. But, even in those cases, the lack of recognition is counteracted by benefits in finance and elsewhere (healthcare, etc).
Overall, Graal is not the state where you can employ this idea of combined recognition for works. This is due to the fact that, as moral equivalence dictates, you must provide an alternate entity with which you can counteract the void left by the absence of recognition, reward, or incentive. In the case of Graal, this entity is sadly non-existent. Therefore, recognition must be employed until an alternative can be discovered.
