With my little experience in the publication career, I have come to realise that there are a lot of Reviewers who review based on what they write and how they write. This sometimes affects objective reviews.
In much the same way, there are so many Editors out there making edtorial decisions based on their subjective experience (what and how they think it should be done).
Personally, I think you don't have to review or make editorial decisions based on what and how you think it should be done but what the standard is and scholarly evidence.
Objectivity should always be the key.
I review papers according to the journals guidelines.
Many complications to discuss here, and discussing it here is not going to change the reviewers' comments and editors' decisions of some journals.
Some reviewers give comments for the sake of providing comments without reading the manuscript thoroughly and carefully. This probably as most of the journal reviewers are not committed and not paid. Some editors do not verify whether their comments are genuine, and reject or accept it based on the reviewers' comments.
You usually chose people who know the field of the papers they shall review. I think this is most important.
Knowledge, interest, expertise, and research integrity are important aspects that help in best practice when it comes to reviewing and editing papers.

Peer review is an intricate system, based on trust and professionalism, as colleagues try to evaluate an ever-increasing volume of papers on short timeframes. On the one hand, the process looks simple: manuscripts are sent out to external experts with a request for evaluation, upon which an editorial decision is then based. But anyone who has been involved in the process knows that peer review includes many intricacies and special cases.
