Why should WE care?

If Niantic internal reviewers don't follow their own rules, why should we?
This sentiment was raised with respect to Niantic accepting candidates on ineligible locations but also applies to the number of generic businesses and ineligible text, and even the mass Foursquare imports. If the Wayfarer team itself isn't reviewing in line with published criteria, why should we be? This also extends to Niantic not updating criteria or guidelines across media or its own site.
