The only way I can see to implement it is to have a staff of human beings vetting all self published offerings and rejecting those that don't qualify.

That costs money. Don't hold your breath waiting for Amazon to spend it.

Or, at the very least, offer users an option to filter out such self-published titles.
This might be worthwhile, though I can see Amazon being reluctant to offer it.

What grounds do they need? "We don't like it" is good enough. In the long term it would probably help not to piss off their paying customers.
I'd be reluctant if I were them to play the "We don't like it" card. That opens them to accusations of censorship, and possible lawsuits.
