Sure but the focus here is on the reviewer not the author.

The point is what is expected as reasonable review before one can "sign their name on it".

"Lazy" (or possibly malicious) authors will always have incentives to cut corners as long as no mechanisms exist to reject (or even penalise) the paper on submission automatically. Which would be the equivalent of a "compiler error" in the code analogy.

Effectively the point is, in the absence of such tools, the reviewer can only reasonably be expected to "look over the paper" for high-level issues; catching such low-level issues via manual checks by reviewers has massively diminishing returns for the extra effort involved.

So I don't think the conference shaming the reviewers here in the absence of providing such tooling is appropriate.
