True Any% category and use of glitches?

I have a pretty simple question: Why is there no true Any% category? One allowing glitches.

There's Any%(Glitchless), Any%(No map) and a few other categories. Meaning a run with glitches has to also abide by a more restrictive category's rules.

It's also worth mentioning that Any%(Glitchless)'s rules don't make any mention of not allowing glitches

Currently there are to my knowledge no glitches in the current WoL V1.033B. So this makes Any%(Glitchless) just normal Any%. The only thing it does at the moment is making sure people wont go to older version just to glitch. Something that is impossible to do on Switch / Xbox & PS4 if i'm not mistaken.

All glitches are just not allowed. Because if there was to find a very OP glitch which would get patched later. Only PC people can go back to the older version (again, if i'm not mistaken). Which just makes people with PS4 / Xbox / Switch just unable to beat the WR.

If there are enough glitches we might consider adding a true Any%. But form what i know only 2 OP glitches have been found which have been patched already. Here they are: Wrong Warp: Infinite Laser:

Your explanation makes sense, True Any% would indeed be PC competitive only (well, any console, but they'll be the same run as glitchless, kinda how a no map run is also a glitchless run).

The glitch I was referring to is a noclip glitch that a coworker showed me and is really easy to do (it requires an NPC and an arcana with specific behavior) and is absolutely still doable in the current patch. So if you find a shopkeeper before finding the miniboss, you can noclip and just run around freely without triggering any room (enemies still attack)

Just as a side note, because I saw no mention of it in the rules: "All glitches are just not allowed." For Glitchless only or all categories? Because there's no mention of it anywhere in the rules (appart from the obvious category title) "Currently there are to my knowledge no glitches in the current WoL V1.033B. So this makes Any%(Glitchless) just normal Any%", same here, there's no mention of not being allowed to go back to a previous version (for example if a boss have been buffed or for a glitch has been patched)
