Are commercial placeholder domain names not blocked here?

I’ve just suggested an edit to a question which used xyz.com as a placeholder domain name. Lots of people are unfamiliar with RFC 2606, and therefore use domain names other than example{.com|.org|.net} as placeholders. Such domain names are blocked from use on Stack Overflow according to a policy discussion, so why can they still be used here on Server Fault?
