I'm not sure what you mean?

So ... as much as I hate that Amazon runs GoodReads, they have a specific section for authors to blog, engage with readers, and link their books. They have created a full-spectrum platform

Bookwyrm caters only to the reader, and has no similar author features.

These aren't deliberate design decisions by BookWyrm, they're doing what they can with the resources they have. It's made by volunteers who depend on donations from users.

You can still set up an account and engage with people, it just wouldn't be designated as a separate section?
