I can think of 2 separate incidents where teams did not pass inspection due to being stubborn, and refusing to change their robots to comply with the rules, or something similar. In that case per missing team, 2*7 or 2*10 red cards go to other teams, just because the team hasn't passed and refuses to pass inspection.

Those teams lose a match of qualifying.

I think the intent is that if a team is later found to be in violation (i.e., plays and then is re-inspected for X and fails), then the red cards. But that's not what the rule says. The rule says that if Team X has not passed inspection and participates in a match (sends a human player or minibot that has passed), then the entire alliance is DQ'd.
