The "entitlement" of reviewers is, quite often (I would say 50/50), a result of the authors' response. I have reviewed several papers where authors responded to fair comments by dismissing the reviewers and trying to make him feel dumb. That invariably ends up in reviewers not changing / lowering their rating.

Also, PhD students can be good reviewers.

I don't doubt your experience. Mine is totally different. I've never flipped one reviewer even thought I've always been polite and the reviewer clearly and objectively wrong. They just don't care. They have too much power. The AC just goes with the flow. This is not peer review, it's a joke.

This is not the case in ML conferences, according to my experience, it's a CV thing...
