This kind of pettifogging guff is common on a whole bunch of WP. See, for another example, the bizarre hostility aimed at users who chose the wrong username - two different admin boards just for names and holding pens and bots. (And the WP software filters out almost anything that you might want to be filtered out.)
It's worth suggesting that this is both cause and consequence of a lot of the other apparently weird Wikipedian demographics
(according to the survey: less than a quarter of Wikipedians are over 30, less than a third in full time employment... and they're more likely to be children than have children. All in all, probably not the people you'd naturally put in charge of creating a latter-day Library of Alexandria)
Then again, I also strongly suspect that the survey data is somewhat skewed by male students who apparently have 6.4 hours a week on average to contribute to dash debates being also disproportionately likely to reply to surveys compared to the working mothers who like to make occasional edits to things they find important.
They do mention controversial subjects. It's obvious that editing "the Russian Invasion of Ukraine" is going to be awful.
What people don't realise is that Wikipedians will argue about anything. Here's over fifteen thousand words about dashes and hyphens. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(poli... (sorry about mobile link).
