Most of these have the downside of not giving the accused the chance to respond and thereby giving the community the chance to evaluate both the criticism and the response (which as I wrote recently isn’t necessarily a dominant consideration, but it is an upside of the public writeup).
I agree what you said is a consideration, though I’m not sure that’s an upside. eg I wasted a lot more time/sleep on this topic than if I learned about it elsewhere and triaged accordingly, and I wouldn’t be surprised if other members of the public did as well.
