Isn’t that the way it is supposed to be? Remember, the spotting
system was created so that hams could alert other hams as to the
availability of DX or other “special” stations. We contesters
discovered that it was an effective way to do the same during contests.
I wasn't active at the time, but I've been told on good authority that
the spotting network was developed BY the contesting community, not
the DX community.
