I think that's not the point that I want to highlight. The problem, however, is some drive-by contributors have unwillingness to accept feedback (including critical reviews). When that behavior become a pattern within contributor's organization/domain, maintainers may take on the err side. For example, Linux kernel maintainers advise to not run checkpatch script on existing sources ([1], [2]). On a occasion, another maintainer had to roll out comment wording fixes after original submitter ignored the maintainer's review ([3]). And the well-known example is when an university was banned from Linux kernel development [4].
