Are Morgan Dollar proofs held to a different standard from business strikes? Pics of a BB

I had an 1878 8TF morgan come back BBed as cleaned awhile back. I figured the coin to be a 61/62 PL/DMPL. A few scattered hairlines which I always expect on lower MS graded PL/DMPLs but the coin imo had not been seriously wiped and had some nice peripheral toning. I know what "harshly" cleaned looks like. I thought hairlines would only trigger a BB if the luster is impaired? Searching on Teletrade or Heritage for lower graded Morgan proofs (58-62) sometimes yields coins with descriptions or pictures suggesting very harsh cleaning yet the coin still makes it into a holder. Doesn't a MS 60/61/62 grade imply a few hairlines? How do obviously harshly cleaned proofs end up in holders? BTW, here is the coin that BBed.
