Not in the specific case that I cited.  The Bib entry is a pointer to
a website.  Insisting on a YEAR field for a website address seems a
bit absurd to me.  The problem is not the "data problem" but the
"problem" could be in the "the inherent nature of the object that is
cited".

My argument is: "Stock LaTeX exporter does it, so Org should also
follow suit".  This argument is difficult to beat without resorting to
vague generalities and hand waves.

When I discuss a problem with a specific example, I would like the
participants to pay attention to the DETAILS of the specific example
and make their comments relevant to the example being discussed.

If you had shared how I can configure Zotero to leave out the question
marks that would have been the most helpful comment from your side.

Anyways....
