Because that's not in character for Luffy. Instead of leaving the room when the spoilers are being given, he asked Rayleigh not to provide the spoilers.
I don't think you can infer from this scene that Luffy bar his crew mates from spoiling themselves, let alone that Luffy would reject prospective crewmates because they've already been spoiled.

Good thread as usual.
You covered a lot of what I thought on the matter. Particularly the case of Luffy acting as Yamato's liberator/saviour. To me, that's the strongest point in Yamato's favor to becoming a Straw Hat. It reflects the main plot of the arc which is opening Wano's borders to the world. If Yamato stayed on Wano to care for Momo, it would only be a larger prison for them. Letting them see how wonderous the outside world is can only be truly experienced with those who live at sea. The Straw Hats are the best choice for someone like Yamato.

It's also the case that there is no other credible choice for Yamato to leave Wano.
Of the many pirates in Onigashima, Luffy:
If Yamato is to leave Wano, it will be with Luffy. Unless Oda plans to imprison her in Wano, she will leave Wano.
So it's highly likely that Yamato leaves with Luffy. The question will be if she becomes a core member of his crew, or is she just a passenger aboard his ship like Law.
Of the many pirates in Onigashima, Luffy:
- Is the one she's been waiting for
- She believes that his arrival on Onigashima is fate.
- Is the only one she's had any interactions with
- Is the one she asked to let her aboard their crew
- Is the one who freed her from her shackles
- Is the younger brother of her first friend
- Said friend "saved" her by removing the shackles binding her heart.
- Said friend wanted to recruit her but could not because of her physical shackles.
- Said friend promised to come back for her, but died before they could meet again.

but so organized as always..
All of this was pretty obvious. And it certainly feels like Oda made Yamato to join from the get go and was all intentional.
Oda has done this with a majority of the Straw Hats who joined.
The other thing too is that for a majority of the Straw hats who joined, Luffy met them first and alone. The only exceptions are: Sanji, Ussop and Brook. But even then Luffy was quick to ask them to join almost immediately upon meeting.
Another criteria i would also add is that those who join are outcasts or who don't fit in with the crowd that they had previously belonged to before joining. Everybody who joined the straw hats pirates crew became a second home and family for them, whether it was out of convenience or otherwise. Zoro was forced to join or he'd get executed, Nami joined cause she didn't feel like home in neither the Arlong Pirates or CoCo Village, Ussop was the village liar that people didn't like, Sanji was the cook who didn't get along with his peers, Chopper was the snow monster, Robin was a fugitive on the run, Franky didn't have a place in Water Seven that would let him be himself, Brook was all alone on a ghost ship and Jinbe was a pirate who would always be discriminated against on the human surface world.
Yamato has no friends in Wano, and her only family is just a alcoholic abusive mess of a father.
Yamato definitely feels like Oda really pushing for a character to join in a long time. The last one was Brook, we didn't know if Jinbe was gonna join or not until after Fishman island until Luffy finally asked him.
I'm more curious as to why some say that she won't join but can't give good reasons why. I have yet to see a convincing reason why. Other than Yamato there hasn't been a more fitting candidate in the Wano Arc. There has also been those that say that yaamto will die, but i also think that won't happen, for the same reasons why jinbe didn't die on WCI.

Yamato is already coming into her own:
Nah, Jimbe has least had a death flag in WCI and people that would have mourned him if he died. Yamato has neither. Not only does her death have no setup or foreshadowing, it serves no narrative purpose. The only thing of value it can contribute is shock, and that's not the kind of story One Piece is.

It's a very big 50/50 cuz right now she believes that Momo is the one who will bring the revolution, now she didn't saw Luffy s will so she might change idea as the story goes on , it also depends how much was written in Oden's journal, if it was just enough to shake the fantasy maybe she will want to join to see what Oden saw or she can stay and take care of Momo....... I hope she joins but carrot is also a candidate....( If they join both it will be even better)
She is hot like Nami and is the daughter of Kaido, it will be really Hype for the next Nakama, ofc she needs some character development but this will come as well
