This is one/half of the solution because it addresses the future.

Why can't the bishops just do this? If there's anything which stops them, I'm not aware of it. (Apostolic visitation = the bishop or his delegate going in and investigating, no?)

Why does it have to be 'proposed'?

Because this wasn't a meeting of all of the bishops. That happens in June. The Cardinals can not make a decision for the whole assembly of bishops. Only the assembly of bishops can.

More like representatives from Rome investigating. That is, an outside investigation.

So the bishops meeting in June can act upon it.
