Maybe it gets posted every time because besides a personal believe by the person popularising this "benchmark", there is no reason to assume that certain labs aren't intentionally training to game this and every other lab at least unintentionally gets improvements for this specific combination of animal and action because the internet is full of both good and bad examples, often ranked, which does inevitably become training data.
I have shared examples of certain models by certain labs doing far better on the pelican cycling vs other, similar prompts. Just operating on a feeling that labs don't optimise for this (as mentioned, even if they don't training data is filled with these) is not solid enough that criticism shouldn't be leveraged when it comes up.
