Because if mods feels like a title is flamebaiting it will get changed. It rarely makes much sense.

Interpretations will always differ, of course, but an equally potent factor is that people tend only to notice the cases they disagree with. The edits that are fine pass without notice because they don't stand out, which is kind of the point of debaiting titles in the first place.
