Sending countless people out on quests to fetch brooms may not make any sense at all in reality, but the tower is a twisted reflection of reality. If you can impress the importance of brooms on enough people around the world they will start having power in the tower. You could forge the one broom to rule them all. Actually, of greater plot relevance, the Tower is probably related to the change in succubi nature on Arclent. At first I thought it was just a cultural thing, like Simon theorized, but if you look back at the story, succubi on Arclent were very tame before Simon even had sufficient power to influence-there's the ones in Stineford who just wanted to peacefully co-exist. Then there's the ones from the Watchtower battle at the edge of the Incubus King's territory. So it seems like this change started before Simon obtained any significant power, probably before he even got his shard.

And with that being said, it's really freaking convenient for Simon, since it gave him an angle to enact "positive" social changes while building up his power. So I think it's a case of either some force in the Tower benignly helping him out, or else someone being very subtle and manipulative.
