Because there were multiple camps under the Treblinka banner.

Treblinka I was a forced work camp. They had transit stops, and people came in and out of here. That's what most stories about it being a transit camp are.

Treblinka II was probably the largest extermination camp in terms of "output". 700,000--900,000 Jews were killed in its gas chambers and around 2,000 Romani people.

There were so many corpses they had to exhume their mass graves and burn bodies on pyres. In 2010 there were 3 previously unknown mass graves discovered.

That there was a duality is not unknown, that it was an extermination camp is not controversial. The evidence is clear.
