Certification for incomplete profiles

I am confused by the practice of certifying profiles that are incomplete and dont even have a profile photo. The totally diminishes the point of certification and makes a group like this less useful IMO. I am open to the perspectives of others.

Certification only requires the requisite two pictures and now I guess some form of government ID with your picture and name (other stuff can be blocked out). While not perfect, it does allow a reasonably good filter to eliminate the spam accounts when interacting. I just wish they would limit non-certified and/or non-paid accounts to read only.
