Why would this memorial bench be rejected?

Hello and welcome to the forum!

While you may see other similar objects as wayspots, context matters. From the Criteria Clarification Collection - Niantic Wayfarer Community :

@NianticTintino

Memorial benches can only be eligible under the criteria for exploration if they are dedicated to a notable figure and that notability is described in the nomination. Mass produced memorial benches dedicated to friends and family are not eligible unless the nominator provides evidence of the individual’s importance to the community. Just stating that someone was important to the community is inadequate.
