A few things came together for me here.

They don't outright say it in the article, but it looks like the reviewer based in India was the one who actually raised concerns about the garbage images. The authors were supposed to respond, but didn't, and the journal published anyway.
I will readily admit that this is just my own conclusion here, but -- I wonder if there was an element of racism that went into ignoring the reviewer's concerns?
Why do you bring up race? Is there anything that would imply that?
People are lazy and incompetent as fuck, and it's been an industry wide problem that publishing companies in general have lower and lower standards of quality.
He didn’t bring up race, he brought up location. Like, you’re the one that brought up race? If it was one American reviewer and one Australian reviewer and this poster said “the Austrian caught it”, would you have made the same comment you just did?
What if the “reviewer based in India” is white?
Edit: I am a ijit, I actually agree with you, and my “what if person based in india is white” should be directed at the guy you’re replying to.
He literally said

I retract my statement, as I cannot read.
Happens to all of us from time to time.
I see you’re as bad at reading as I am, missing my edit and response!
I brought it up purely as speculation, as one possible explanation for why the process was not properly followed. I don't have any experience with publishing companies, whether for science journals or otherwise.
Check out their controversies section on Wikipedia. This doesn't seem out of character for this publication. It's more likely incompetence than malice.
So many questions!
