You’re confusing the maintainer of the index’s ( Standard & Poors) with the implementation (Vanguard).

If S&P puts a company in, Vanguard will buy the shares. Not doing so could cause problems, including lawsuits.

Yes, and as I said the S&P500 index excludes companies like Snapchat with the founder-has-most-votes trick. I suppose the real issue here is how much money goes into which indices, and which ones exclude companies like these.
