EXIF info is often missing or wrong. Photos that have been passed around, going through various services, apps, scanners, screenshots, etc. along the way, frequently have their EXIF info stripped (e.g., for privacy when exported or uploaded), written incorrectly originally (e.g., you scan an old B&W print, put it in sideways to fit in the scanner, and the scanner invisibly includes EXIF data assuming it was correctly oriented), or rewritten incorrectly (e.g., stripped EXIF is replaced with default orientation).
