And how about the lack of stoops in front of the doors and the excessive step to grade?

Michael,
The posts being "in contact with the ground" is not necessarily a bad thing, not if the posts are treated for in ground use and are anchored to concrete footings below frost depth, as the footings should be.
ALL have stoops by the front doors, SOME even look like pavers. Some look like grass, but ALL have stoops" there (otherwise, you would step out and step into a black hole, coming out on the other side of the earth or just disappearing).
How about if YOU list what you see is wrong and give supporting documentation? You know, for the benefit and education of all ... as you were saying.
