It’s especially nonsensical because they don’t even always make sure these rules are upheld.
The best example are blueprint assets and these two rules:

Blueprints are clean and not purposefully confusing.
Yet a lot if not most blueprint assets on the marketplace do NOT have a “thorough” documentation, often they don’t have any documentation at all.
And so many blueprint assets, including newer ones, often have complete spaghetti code.
I doubt the marketplace “team” (I’m still convinced it’s only one intern doing the job) actually checks all the assets completely.
