You appear not to have comprehended the points made in the dragged-out 3 pages.
If an airport operator is unable to respond, chooses not to respond, doesn't get the email, doesn't respond quickly enough, or if ASA has the incorrect contact information, or if the owner has only updated the Country Airstrips guide, then it is not logical for ASA to remove the airport from the maps, but rather mark it as unverified.
If you read what alpha said, the plan in that event is to remove the airport from the maps! What you call “not logical” is, apparently, what’s going to happen.

Then there’s the question: What does “mark it unverified” mean? The legend suggests that a broken circle = unverified. (Which immediately raises another question: Why have a symbol for “unverified” at all, if the airport should not be on the map?). There is nonetheless aerodrome symbology used on official AIP maps that does not appear in the legend for those maps - namely an unbroken circle with a “U” in the middle.

This is all, apparently, the fault of the people who pay for the maps.
