Thanks. I've slept on it and thought some more.
@Freewritehouse is a place for writers who are not professional writers, who may not even aspire to be published authors. Some grow and learn and do publish.  We don't have "in house" editors or judges. We do have people who've been criticized, discouraged, told they couldn't write, but in freewriting community, they discover they can write--and learn to write better.

Steemhouse is a completely different community with higher ambitions. Freewritehouse is a grassroots community for support, encouragement, friendships, fun, and sharing without fear of ridicule. Anyone who comes in with snide judgments will get no traction, no attention. We are a close-knit group, growing every year. A good number of freewrites and we-writes have earned the attention of @curie because so many of us do edit, revise, and polish - knowing our stories came to life thanks to a daily freewrite prompt, and thanking @mariannewest and all the volunteers who take time to read each other's writing and offer positive feedback. 

You do what you do. We do what we do. Some of us do a little of both.

We can co-exist at Steemit and acknowledge the good that each community is doing. 

Write on!

Exactly the point of the post. Two different communities with two different goals in mind. We can explain why we don't freewrite at Steemhouse, and other groups can explain why the do in theirs. Writers can choose which environment works best for them.

I don't see the goals as mutually exclusive. :)
But if you don't have time to read freewrites, no surprise there. Soooo much content to sift through every day on Steemit. Only so many hours in a day. 
I read only a tiny fraction of what I could/should read, and that's only at Steemit. Add in Twitter and links that show up at other social media, and I could spend 24/7 reading at the pc.
Pick and choose... we have a finite number of heartbeats and minutes in a day.
