I would describe it as more of a chilling effect on voting "not inclined" or raising concerns on performance.
In my experience,
1) being not inclined on such a hire leads to more scrutiny
2) managing performance is prone to more scrutiny
So: while the standard is expected, it's enforced to a lesser degree in practice. Which means a few bad apples abusing this unfortunately make everyone else (in the group who meet/beat the standard) look bad.
