Because there is a point where things should be
changed (like carpet armor for health reasons) and
there is a point where changes become nitpicking. 
Then there are those who are bored and would rather
fill their time with finger-wagging instead of
something constructive like scribing.

As I said before, if this request to change a word
like "troll" hadn't come from the same group that was
calling armor "kits" I would take it more seriously. 
But since it is from the same group of guys that was
calling armor and armor coverings "kits" I can't say
that this is an educated move, just more
finger-wagging.
