And realistically, Ken, Adam and I (maintainers of the major install tools) really control most of the META.yml generation anyway. If we don't upgrade, you don't upgrade.
Well, that's not entirely true for things like "no_index" or various "resources" keywords. I think only Module::Install offers no_index and I don't know that any tool supports the new "resources" keywords. Within Module::Build, you have to use "meta_add" and/or "meta_merge". Both of those make it very easy for users to create non-standard META.yml entries, even if they don't hand-roll a META.yml. Checking against the spec is a good Kwalitee metric to catch the cases where users have departed from the Spec. (e.g. no lowercase "resources" keywords except those given in the spec as approved.)
