Not sure what is causing the current round of consternation about QTs - a few things to note:
QTs are already commonly available in many fediverse apps and instances that are not Mastodon
QTs are possible today - just copy a link to a post like so: https://infosec.exchange/@jerry/110312967901973862
QT renders a linked post, like the one above, as an inset view of the quoted post.
QT use requires diligent moderation

@jerry As one of the earliest adopters of QTs, perhaps the first (QOTO had it for many years now) i can agree with all that, it is just a link with somenspecial formatting and behavior, and only marginally different from putting a post in your link.
I disagree about you last point tbat it needs diligant moderation and would say, no more so than people posting a link to a post would need...
