Are you actually trying to offer assistance? If so, you missed by the proverbial country kilometre.
Perhaps they have some time on their hands and are attempting to update old and incorrect metadata? Perhaps they are attempting to download consistent covers for series where all too often the covers for some of the series are inconsistent? Perhaps they managed to screw up when editing metadata in bulk? Perhaps they are still working on cleaning up their mother's calibre library.
And, yes, perhaps they are adding metadata to books from dubious sources though nothing so far has even suggested that that is the case.
As for most eBooks having correct metadata?
Perhaps in your world. In mine, a good chunk of the eBooks especially from Amazon have metadata that is pathetic at best.
