Perhaps it's because they've seen so many "authenticators" pop up and fade away that they are a bit jaded.

None of the major authenticators are required to train as Certified Document Examiners (CDEs), who at least
try to be scientific. That's why authenticators keep popping up.

I would never send them anything. Because I wouldn't collect stuff I can't authenticate myself, and I don't know why anyone would. I especially wouldn't pay to have them look at anything older than 1950, since there is no way they can scientifically examine the item for the amount of money they charge to authenticate it.
