It baffles my mind that the hobby awards them the level of respect that they have.

Agreed. Having PSA review something they have already graded expecting a change in the grade is dreaming.
The example above is not a good one to truly showcase the harsh grading. That issue is literally newsprint. Super thin and prone to small bends/crinkles/wrinkles. Most graded examples look like 9s or 10s and are in 4s and 5s due to those imperfections that do not even break the surfaces. The one posted above has to have several of those bends.
