At least in LSR these would be seen as WGLC blockers not necessarily adoption blockers.

Adoption is generally blocked when the intent or direction of the draft is not one which the WG wants to take, or if no-one actually wanted to work on the document, etc. It is not necessarily a quality check, unless of course the WG thinks that the quality would or could never be improved, that also could block adoption. A document having some problems (especially ones so obviously fixable and non-controversial as the ones you point out) are not a reason to block adoption as long as people are willing to address them.

That said, your objection of course is noted. Perhaps one of the authors can chime in with their intent to fix the issues you object to (or just fix them in a new version).

Thanks,
Chris.
