First of all let me just say that questions do get upvotes on musing. Good questions are always valuable and musing probably knows that better then any of us.

Everybody  has questions but few are ever answered. I think there is a  reason why  answers are more deserving than questions. Sometimes it  takes hours to  ponder over a question, so an answer could be written.  Some questions  are even more information oriented and you have to look  at the data  from the internet to answer them and that takes considerable  time and  effort. 

A question that took only ten seconds to type  may take  hundreds of seconds to answer. If somebody invested time in  coming up  with a good question the there is someone who will spend even  more time  in coming up with a good answer.

I usually ask questions that I  want the answers to. This means that my  primary motive to ask a  question is to get an answer to it. Getting an  upvote for it is a side  advantage here. This kind of attitude also helps me in keeping even my  questions more streamlined.  

Prioritizing questions over answers  could create a situation where people will just post a ton of questions  and wait for others to answer. I am not saying that this is necessarily a  bad thing but  this would allow the quality of questions to suffer as  quantity would  become the objective (due to posting questions just for  upvote). 

Asking questions when necessary is a good  thing that  keeps musing.io alive but we don't want a situation where  questions are  being asked solely for upvotes. I really do think that  this might not  be good for the long term.

I also feel that those  asking the  questions should also try to upvote the answers that they  feel deserve  theory upvote. We need to keep in mind that musing upvote  is not the  the only one that counts. Our upvotes also matter to other  people using  musing.io
