This is just an example, but there really needs to be a way to make sure they post a proper changelog... Like, is there a limitation on characters? Can't we set up a way to import the release notes from Github? Why is it this way?

I've read about someone's experience once that less detailed release note releases are more likely to be approved by store moderation without issue.
It's probably more laziness / not seeing enough value in it though.
I see lacking release notes everywhere - in many projects.
Sucks when you're trying to asses necessity, risks, and changes of updates of apps, service infrastructure, or libraries.
Good release notes are not hard if you have a good workflow. At my work project it's basically automated generated - thanks to a deliberate and conventional commit workflow.
But few people see the need, the value, or have the initiative and thoroughness that would establish it.
