If it seemed a bluchek was handed out for nefarious reasons, that's because it was.
"Twitter employees were selling verification for upwards of $15,000. For
certain accounts, mine included, they would refuse to verify you through
the standard application and then privately offer to verify you for $$
behind the scenes."

"Always assume corruption" vindicated again.
The difference being that employees would pocket the bribes instead of adding them to the company.
The existing blucheka seem startlingly butthurt about Musk naively formalizing the process. Why is that? When I tell you, will you feel as dumb as I do?
They now feel like they were overcharged. Ripped off. Scammed, even. Plus they now have to pay $96/year on top of the already outrageous bribes. "Fuck off! I paid already!"
