As I understand it, the issue is not format (that's just an implementation issue), but the dedication to the semantics of feeds. I don't see any reason why this needs to be enforced. It seems like a religious debate, "but they should be using feed semantics!" Well, no, not if they don't want to. And if that's the case, they'll either not use PubSubHubbub or continue bastardizing it.
