It says 'suitable for wet locations', what's your issue? :p

Seriously, what is the location we are looking at?

Looks like it's for a patio or garden light. Bollard or pole light would have additional hardware for mounting. I see the box is a standard octagon box; not suitable for wet locations.

Mine too, and my daughters. But I'm finally getting to where I don't look much any more. I purposely see as little as possible now. 8 hours a day of it is enough.
 
It may not be inspector missed it, but altered after the inspection. See a lot of that. If you are talking about a home inspector, that is not at all surprising. Seen those guys miss big major issues and tell prospective buyer everything is good.
 
It looks to me like a commercial pole-light base, abandoned, with the box meant to protect the wires.

This was at a large mall, central Iowa, just off I80.
Obviously, an old installation, but I did not have the nerve to dig around in it to see if the wires had been removed. I've seen enough to know that is not a good idea.
