Im genuinely confused. Then why even cite those articles? Is there a hard rule for "You must cite this much articles" before publishing?

Often yes, also, you may genuinely have to review A LOT of articles to make your point, and at that point, reading them in whole alone is gonna take you a few weeks time.
