People can eventually do as they please. It's not a single entity of community forced to play with everyone where people not complying is harming the community in any direct way (unlike on games like eve online). You can do whatever you like in your own bubbles, without interacting with the bubbles of others.
A lot of people try to be lore compliant because it's the best bet to be accepted into the widest range of RP. People that break or bend the lore don't generally mind people that are lore compliant. The other way around though...
I have actually also seen threads asking "Would that spin on things be interesting to you?". Half of the answers were "sure, go for it if you like it!", and the rest "do whatever you want but I'm not gonna RP with you". It only serves to illustrate the point further.
Then again, I'm glad the community is like this, even if I wish the actual wish to play more with the lore and fluff than just using the lore as boundaries not to break was more real, people are not being lore ayatollahs by shitting on others constantly and being toxic edgelords, and are yet attached enough to the lore so that the community doesn't turn into everything but... FFXIV.
