This is a good point. If I'm going to pay a goodly amount of money for an hour Lenormand reading then I want someone who really knows the Lenormand system and isn't just going to use Lenormand cards as a Tarot-substitute in a Celtic Cross spread or even read Lenormand cards in some kind of free-form/intuitive/psychic/channeled manner that could be done with any oracle deck. I'd want someone who really understands the Lenormand process and can maximize the information that appears in a spread. (I've seen several Lenormand readers read the same GT separately from each other and get almost the exact same information; it's like they are translating another language for me.)For a Lenormand card reading, I expect a reader who reads the Lenormand cards, and traditionally - i.e. not someone who reads the cards like tarot, has not learnt the basic guidelines or rules, or knows nothing about the GT method (even if they don't employ it in the actual reading).
OTOH, if I go for a psychic reading or a general card reading, I probably wouldn't mind it if the reader threw down a few Lenormand cards to clarify or check something. I'm not as likely to question or even care HOW they get their information as long as the reading is insightful and helps me.
The problem is that the Lenormand community is made of both of psychics (including wannabe psychics) who like the Lenormand cards and of people who want to be able to use and translate this special Lenormand language. The two don't easily mix.
