It's not as much about talent but about tradeoffs. I work in traffic monitoring tools (not censorship, just observability tools for infrastructure) there's always the decision of how many edge cases you want to cover vs how fast you want your tool to go. At millions of packets per second, an extra "if" might make a big difference in the throughput you're able to monitor. So maybe it's actually reasonable to ignore the .1% that use "hoSt" instead of "Host" to avoid losing .5% of the packets.
