That's sort of handled by pop reports, and to me should be. A quick check will tell you that some stuff just isn't out there in top condition. Grading it on a curve of sorts leaves no room for the outliers like the Black Swamp cards. It would also cause confusion in the expectation of what you get for a certain grade.
On the other hand, at least one company allows a bit of leeway for traits that are just part of the card as issued. Like how tobacco stains on Polar Bear T206s aren't considered to be as bad as a similar stain on other brands.
