It was a policy started by Ezra, as a gimmick by the Babylonians to keep all political and economic power in the hands of the returning exiles.

Not all Jewish sects practice it. Karaites, Samaritans, and a couple other sects still practice the original Hebrewism of Moses and the written Torah.

Modern 'rabbinical Judaism' and its fictional 'oral Torah' are a later fiction; Christianity is an older Jewish sect than 'rabbinical Judaism' , by some 100 years. Despite all the lip service, modern rabbinical Judaism does not follow the Torah of Moses, and has invented its own 'Oral Torah' scam, built largely on racist nonsense. The only real Torah is the one attributed to Moses, the first 5 books.
