> It would have been trivial to review these for required sections in advance

Absolutely. It is trivial! And the company making the submission is expected to do that. Which I think is very reasonable, considering that they know the requirements and make the actual submission in the first place.

It’s silly to want the reviewers to take on an additional burden in the process just because this one company made a dumb mistake which as you say would have been trivial for them to review and catch.

Reviewers are human. If they can’t use their human reasoning skills deal with something trivial like “Heading A3 should be above this paragraph” then frankly society would be much better off without them, and we should just automate them away rather than wasting our tax dollars on them.
