barely anybody would get points if the tournaments were 15-20 mins bro, fastest classical time format is 25+0
15 to 20 minutes is not classical. Even at OTB classical tournaments, you generally only play 2 games per day. There is www.lichess4545.com/ which runs classical events, but all the games aren't played on the same day. That wouldn't really make sense for classical chess.
There's also the hourly rapid arena, which is 10+0 (which isn't classical of course, but neither is 15+0 or 20+0).

I was ineligible to play in a Classical Chess Club's tournament today, because I still have a provisional Classical rating. I've played 127 Classical Games on Lichess!!! Can the Lichess Mods please help me with this?

That's true, but only three in the last ten months. Your rating deviation will go up over time without you playing any games. You need to play some more classical games now to get your RD down.

@corvusmellori I'd say once you hit a max of 50 games you should be established. Once established, one should simply be established.

That's probably because you wanted to join the Challenge Cup which has a requirement of rating <= 1900 in which case lichess automatically also requires your rating to be stable. CCC tournaments without a rating limit (e.g. Sundays in January) usually only require at least 5 rated classical games.

It doesn't work like that here and it's for a good reason. If someone has not been playing (or only rarely) for a long time, their rating can no longer be considered reliable. They could have taken a pause from chess in which case it's likely they lack practice and play worse than when their rating was established. Or they could have been training and playing OTB or online on some other site so that they would be actually significantly stronger than their rating indicates. That's why lichess increases the rating deviation with time if you don't play so that when you start again, your rating can adapt faster to your current strength (which lichess knows little about).
