Why do admins lock certain entries from deletion?

I'm not talking about legit game entries, I specifically mean DUPLICATE entries with NO INFO filled out, and without proper capitalization. I mean I get locking this (which it is)

but why lock duplicates like this https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/425608-spiderman-friend-or-foe-duplicate-game-the-will-not-delete-please-remove-game

I don't understand why people try locking and wiping the duplicate. People should just contact the developers and explain the situation instead of getting into fights about it in the comments.
