Hey, you are "the" Benson Leung!
I still believe that an error like that one is something that can happen (unlike a number of errors/mistakes you happened to find/highlight over the years).
I am not saying that it's "normal", only saying that I can understand how someone could miss this aspect.
Engineering is not (or should not be) "following arcane rules in various specs", good engineering is making things as simple as possible (but not simpler) and have them working.
The engineer failed in the specific design, but IMHO the whole set of engineers that wrote the USB standard failed in making things simple enough.
If we take another (unfortunately) "common" standard (one with which you are not maybe so familiar with) UEFI, its specs are more (last time I checked) than 2200 pages, is it so surprising that its implementation in many boards is not fully-fully compliant to them?
