When I was building software for the Army, we learned that certain request methods were blocked. For us, it was just one more drop in the it is what it is bucket.

Recently I've discovered that some of our applications return a failed authentication response as a 200 OK along with a validation messages object that says exactly the opposite.

It's my preference to be bothered by this type of thing. People meet, discuss, and make decisions about these things, so who am I to say, "Thanks for the suggestion, but I'll be going my own way."

Sometimes, though, it is what it is.
