Are you saying the DHS never denies any AOS/Visa application?
Or are you saying that DHS has a 0% failure rate in determining which
application in legitimate, applying any sensible standard?
In the later case, families still might end up being split up but for
arguably legitimate reasons.
If so, why bother accepting appeals? All of them must be coming from
disgruntled people, who can't accept the fact that they're criminals.

Correct, but they're not the only ones who end up being screwed.

Did it ever occur to you there might be mixed couples with different
nationalities?
What if DHS says "no" to the alien, and the home country of the alien
says no to whom they regard to be the alien?
Where does the couple move? They end up having to split up!
I personally know of one such case; in this case the U.S. wasn't
involved. It was a dutch / taiwanese couple.
This scenario is certainly also possible with the USA.
