So I admit its irritating, but there doesn't

I'd prefer a practise that tries to preserve rather than delete in
cases where the image was policy-compliant when uploaded, and is only
not standards-compliant right now on technicalities.

Which, we probably can't code into a bot.
Perhaps... shift the operational policy, have the bot tag not result in auto
deletion 7 (or n) days later, but require a manual review to shift it into
an auto-delete n days later category?
Eventually someone will have to deal with the ones that nobody fixes, but
requiring a human being to pull the trigger on "this isn't used per
policy"
would be useful.
Perhaps an automated tool that would let people shuffle articles from
bot-tagged to either "Policy compliant but needs rework on justification" or
"Not policy compliant" categories.
Out of curiosity, is there a macro that expands to "What links here" ? If
that were part of the bot tag, that would make the job of people looking at
the tag to reclassify it much easier...
