Ask HN: Why is flagging used as downvoting tolerated without consequence?

Threads are rejected daily because of flagging, and quite often that is done as a form of downvoting. Today's example is https://ift.tt/3qpCo9I but I see this happening all the time. Sometimes things make sense to be flagged but surely it's not meant to be used just as a downvote? If it is can we just have a downvote button instead so those of us who respect the implied rules can use it to. And if it's not can we have a solution that punishes those who flag a thread which is later approved by a mod or something else?
