Isn't this an issue with the reviews rather than the publication attempts? Wouldn't the normal (if there is such a thing) approach between people be to credit a reviewer with the quality of their reviews or lack thereof? Basically, who signed off on it?

That is my understanding. Papers can be wrong for different reasons, some nefarious, some honest mistakes. The problem I wouldn't say is with the paper itself. It more of people citing it with a lack of peer review or lack of replication. And also peer review being like a stereotypical "LGTM" approval on a pull request.
