firstly, the bright side of directing to the most voted page is that we could encourage users to go through all these great (top 1 percent) questions and somehow that may lead to their "actions" of either answering, voting, or ultimately asking new question (as great as these fab. questions) i thought
secondly, i must say that “to have most voted question’s title as a banner” was originally yuki’s idea (not mine🙏!!!) and I still think it is brilliant
lastly, i agree with your point that we click on a banner with a question and the banner sends us somewhere else is in fact not friendly
