The developer is the only one who no, if the extension is stable enough to 
be used in production environment. Every other state (alpha,beta) means it 
should not be used by definition - of course many extensions are declared as 
beta and work perfectly since years (e.g css_styled_content).

This has noting to do with strictness of TER - everybody can send his 
extensions to TER and there is no automatically review at all!

Maybe.. if the developer wants to do so and you support him by installing 
his extension?
You should always review the extension code yourself before using an 
extension in production.

So I don't really understand, why you're so upset.
