Which is why it's important not to hide it for an end user - it helps you distinguish between organic posts (non-checked) and boosted ones (blue check).
The blue check is mostly a negative signal at this point, except for the fact that people over certain follower numbers automatically are forced to have it.
It's a really bizarre system.
