The whole point of guidelines should be to point out what the problems are with particular things/approaches, and guide content authors towards a better solution. But many people see SCs as big hammers with which they can finally "pressure" sites/content developers, setting it up as an us vs. them battle which then understandably gets more pushback than framing it as a "let's work this out together" mentality).
