Well, even if that's true, most ribbons still do exist because of
self-ratification.

What's the problem? Apparently it is rule 2125's (Regulated Actions)
most recent amendment. That rule now states (in relevant part) that "A

only using the methods explicitly specified in the Rules for
performing the given action.".
To be fair, there was considerable debate on whether the rules written like
the pre-amendment R2125 did or didn't enable awarding (for lacking both a
capitalized CAN and a method). So depending on the (now-moot) final judgement
there it's possible that *no* ribbons were ever correctly awarded (excepting
some like White that have a separate by-announcement method specified).
