That's been normal for decades.

Read the hold text and PTF comments for the held service. Inform your
staff of anything associated with a documentation hold that affects
them. Don'r bypass any holds unless you know that it is safe. Draw up
transition plans for any hold requiring external action.
You specified GEXT, which means that if you have received corrective
service for an error hold, SMP will include it in the APPLY. If you
APPLY a PTF that supersedes an APAR number, that automatically
releases that error hold; it is normally neither necessary nor safe to
manually bypass error holds. Of course, if you are affected by a HIPER
APAR then you may need to install the fix even if it has an unresolved
PE.
Try to get your management to pay for SMP training.
