It'd be more helpful if you explained what exactly is wrong, and what you suggest to do instead.

In my experience people who at the same time, “no I don’t [care], actually”, and who squash their PRs as a matter of policy do not care and cannot be convinced to care.

Like the GP said

You might as well just conclude that it’s subjective since there’s no progress to be made.
