Saturation and exposure isnt really "editing", because all photos must be developed from the raw data. Most of the time your camera develops it automatically (and often get things slightly wrong), and many people like to develop raw photos themselves vith apps like snapseed.

Oversaturated photos should be considered flawed, but not disqualified.

Imo.

I agree, if we start getting too particular we are drifting over into c/photography's realm.

I agree, it would be impossible to enforce any rules on color adjustment in a fair way. There's a lot of variability in terms of what is captured in camera as well as subjectivity in terms of what is most faithful to the actual subject even if the intention is to be 100% realistic, which is not always the case.
