Speculating that "well it may pass but it just doesn't have the approval because of some reason I don't know" is just that, speculation. For example, PP Euro 0W-40 doesn't carry LL-01... the first and most basic conclusion is just that, it doesn't pass the specification sequence. You're right we don't know why it doesn't have the approval, but to say that concluding that it doesn't pass is more speculative than thinking there are other reasons is just logically flawed, in my opinion. That's all.
Basically, I'm not saying I KNOW it doesn't pass. I'm saying that the first rational conclusion for lack of approval is that it doesn't pass, and other reasons/guesses come second to that.
