But I'm not talking about the mechanics, I'm just arguing that guilds ... not a random assortment of players wanting to win the lottery ... did Scout in classic.

Guess what happens when not many people show up to scout roll because it's at an odd hour? The winner asks their guild for help. Sometimes things go sideways and the "winner" doesn't get the disk and captain depops before the force can recover. Your "lotto ticket" analogy is full of caveats.
Emergent player behavior is classic, and the devs choosing to alter or
not alter emergent player behavior depending on it's nature is also classic. Rooting dragons sadly made sense here because it was a complete clusterfuck letting guilds pull everything to ent or wherever. By contrast, the server community organically coming to an agreement about scout is totally fine and people prefer it that way, thus the devs don't have to and shouldn't intervene.
