I take your points in good order. However, in our case, the persons hired to do the job required, will be responsible for case prep in often complicated immigration law cases. The documents prepared must be exacting in content, form and presentation. Lead Attorneys practice before federal courts including the Supreme Court of the United States. To turn in something that is less than letter perfect would reflect poorly on the defendants case and the firm. Thus, a requirement for attention to detail is part of the published job description.
The applicants are fully advised of this in advance of submitting their written applications. If it were only a small percentage who had slight spelling errors perhaps it could be explained as that individuals error in attention to detail, however, the percentage of errors is much higher. Thus, my resort to the red pen edit as I review them. Further, this is not an "entry level pay" position. The expectation of professional standards is part of the job. Either education is lacking, or we simply have breed a society of slackers, apparently, who have never been held to a standard of business. In either case, correction is necessary for society to function as we have come to appreciate it.
